August: Hurricane Season Teasers
August remains very small on average - 1ft (0.3m), 4.4s - but the tropical season begins to add a wildcard. The E-NE trade windswell still dominates, with NE and ENE swell combining for 63% of the spectrum, and most of that is under 3ft (1m). The N-to-NW window is slightly more present than in July, around 18% of the swell distribution, but it is mostly below 1.5ft (0.5m). Ideal offshore wind conditions stay rare at 4%. The real story is tropical cyclones: when a storm tracks through the Gulf of Mexico, the Florida Straits or the western Atlantic, La Setenta can suddenly see a real groundswell pulse. Those waves often arrive with messy winds, heavy rain and unstable weather, so you have to stay flexible. Water temperatures peak near 29.8°C, air temperatures average 28.8°C, and precipitation is 3.48 mm/day.
