August: Small but Clean Spells
August sees the swell average stuck at 3ft (0.9m), period easing to 8.5s and ideal wind percentage falling to 45%. The E/ESE/SE swells share similar percentages around 19-21%, but there is more ENE (13%) and NNE (7%) energy, pointing to periodic tropical influence. The wind field becomes a tug-of-war: S (11%) and SSW (9%) still offer clean windows, but NNW jumps to 14% and NW adds 9% - both onshore directions for this north-facing bank. A strong S-SW change with E-NE swell can still produce sneaky good 3-4ft walls, otherwise August is small and mixed. Water temp bottoms out at 20.2C, with dry conditions and 1.46mm/day of rain.
