August: Late Winter Swell With Increasing East in the Lines
August keeps the quality high as the season begins to ease. Ideal wind is still at 62%, average period is 9.3s and average swell is 1.5m (5ft). The wind field is a blend of NW/NNW (6.0/14.6%), W (10.2%), WSW (8.5%) and SW (7.3%)-so offshore flow still rules many days. Swell direction is slightly more mixed: SSE (23.5%) and SE (15.3%) still lead, S (11.1%) remains, but ENE (7.5%), E (10.0%) and ESE (11.7%) contribute a growing share of east energy. Water temp drops to the annual minimum of 20.0°C, air temp averages 18.1°C, and precipitation is only 1.60 mm/day. Expect clean, consistent 3-6ft (1-1.8m) surf with some excellent east-swell windows as winter fades.
