August: Still Pumping with the Longest Periods
August keeps the winter momentum going. Average swell height remains at 1.7m (5-6ft) while the average period ticks up to 12.5s - one of the highest of the year - and the swell rose shows SW at 37.0%, WSW at 18.0% and W at 7.6%. Offshore northwest flow continues in force: WNW (18.1%), NNW (18.3%) and NW (14.4%) make up most of the wind rose, keeping ideal conditions at 47%. Onshore south winds are minimal, though the extra west in the swell means more wrap and a potentially more sectiony wave. Air temperature is a chilly 11.2°C, water temp drops to the yearly minimum of 13.3°C, and rain is at its wettest with 2.76 mm/day. If you can handle the cold, August offers long-period, punchy, firing waves.
