August: Same Size, More Wind Swaps
August continues the winter grind with an average swell height of 9ft (2.7m) and the longest average period of the year at 13.1s. The direction distribution remains excellent - SW at 31.9%, WSW at 14.2%, and a notable W component of 2.9% - meaning long-period groundswell is pouring straight into the beach. But the wind dial becomes more problematic. Onshore SW/WSW/W/WNW winds now outweigh offshore E/ENE/ESE flow, and ideal conditions slip to around 37%. This is the month of stormy, cross-shore chop mixed with occasional glassy offshore mornings. The water reaches its annual minimum at 18.8°C, and air temps bottom out near 15.6°C with heavy rainfall. August rewards the patient forecaster: wait for the wind to go E/ESE, then jump on a still-powerful 8-10ft (2.4-3.0m) southwest groundswell.
