August: A Glimmer of Offshore Hope
August starts to ease the trade-wind grip. Average swell height slips to 0.9m (3.0ft) and period to 6.4s, with 85.5% of swell from ESE and 7.5% from SE. The size spectrum shifts down - 56.4% is in the 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) class, though there is a small but promising 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) component at 26.5%. The big difference is wind: ideal offshore wind rises to 13%, the best since December, while the onshore E and ESE winds let up slightly (21.3% and 34.6%, respectively). The NNW/NW offshore quadrant produces 8.8% of the wind readings, giving August a few legitimately clean sessions. Water temp is 28.9°C, air temp 26.1°C, and rainfall is high at 2.22 mm/day. It is small, but it can be fun if you time the windows.
