Conditions at Jake's Point in August
August: Big Swell, Westerly Energy, Still Firing
August is peak winter in every sense. Average wave height is 6-7ft (1.9m), the average period peaks at 12.2s, and the swell direction is the most westerly of the year: SW leads at 44%, WSW adds 11%, W contributes 2%, and SSW still provides 22%. The mix brings a blend of power and wall - perfect for a WNW-facing spot that needs west in the swell window.
Wind is slightly less consistent than June-July, with ideal offshore flow down to 42%. ESE (11.5%), SE (11.9%), E (8.8%) and ENE (5.4%) still give plenty of clean windows, but SSE (12.5%) and S (9.4%) begin to creep back in. Water temp bottoms out at 20.1°C and air sits around 16.0°C. The result is powerful, heavy surf with more demanding conditions - bring your step-up board.
