August: Punchy Swell Between the Tropical Waves
August serves up some of the most consistent raw size of the year at Bejuco. The average swell height remains at 4.5ft (1.4m), the average period is 13.2s, and 90.2% of the swell arrives from the SSW. This month has a high percentage of 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) surf at 23.5%, plus 1.2% in the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) range. Ideal wind improves slightly to 21%, but the weather is still active, with 7.86mm/day of rain. Air temperatures average 25.8°C and water temperature is 29.0°C. Tropical waves moving across the eastern Pacific keep the atmosphere unstable, so offshore N/NE winds are often short-lived. Still, the sheer volume of long-period SSW swell means there is almost always something to surf along this exposed beach, especially if you are willing to wait out the showers.
