August: Hurricane Season Brews Up Extra Energy
August is the heart of Eastern Pacific hurricane season, and that tropical cyclone energy shows up directly in the swell statistics. Average height is 4.5ft (1.4m) at 13.2s, with SSW at 78% and S at 16%, while passing tropical storms or remnants can throw in extra pulses of long-period SW swell. Wind conditions remain workable: 58% ideal, with E (9%), NNW (9.5%) and NE (8%) sharing the rose - a mix of side-shore and offshore that keeps the texture variable. The water is at its warmest of the year, 30.4°C, and rainfall is high at 6.95mm/day. It pays to track the hurricane maps - a well-positioned storm can turn La Bocana into a charging arena.
