Conditions at Mizata in August
August: Hurricane-Enhanced SW Energy
August marks the start of the most active phase of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season, and that adds a new flavor to Mizata's swell menu. While SSW remains dominant at 78.2%, the SW contribution grows to 5.1% and the S component to 16.4%, injecting occasional pulsey energy from the tropics. The average swell height is back up to 1.4m (4.5ft) and the period is still a solid 13.2s. Winds are a mixed bag: ideal offshore conditions sit at 59%, with light NE/NNE/NW flows, but E and ESE winds also occupy a big chunk of the spectrum, creating cross-shore or semi-onshore texture. Rainfall averages 6.95 mm/day and water temperature peaks around 30.3°C. If a tropical storm tracks well offshore, Mizata can light up with extra SW pulse; otherwise, look for the early morning window before the ocean gets lumpy.
