August: Hurricane Season Ramps Up
August stands on the edge of true hurricane season. Average swell drops to 0.7m (2.3ft) with a 6.9s period and ideal wind at 43%. The SE swell machine is still strong (49.8%) with ESE (38.5%) and E (7.8%) filling in the rest. The most interesting development is the appearance of a handful of SSE and S swell events - still small, but a sign that tropical cyclone paths and upper-level winds can align to produce better south-facing waves. In the absence of a storm, expect trade-wind swell with surface chop from the SE and SSE breeze. Water temperature maxes out at 29.4°C, air averages 28.4°C, and precipitation is around 1.35 mm/day. It is warm, humid and average, but the hurricane wildcard keeps it interesting.
