Conditions at Duranbah in August
August: Late-Winter Lull With Clean Mornings
August is a transition month in which Duranbah loses a step in the size department. Average heights sit at 3ft (0.9m), periods back off to 8.5s, and the wind is ideal 55% of the time. The swell rose spreads more evenly between E, ESE and SE, with an increased ENE component around 13%, which actually helps the sandbar. You have to be selective: the 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) easterly pulses with morning W/SW wind are the money sessions. Dry weather and 20.2°C water make it pleasant, but don't expect much more than fun-sized, clean sandbar waves.
