Conditions at Kumari Point in August
August: Still in the Monsoon Washing Machine
August stays locked in the southwest monsoon pattern. Average swell holds at 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) with a 12.8-second period, and SW/SSW directions are nearly universal. The wind field remains hostile: SW blows 56 percent of the time, WSW another 29 percent, and ideal offshore N/NNW flow occurs just 1 percent of the time. Rainfall eases slightly to 8.42mm/day, but it doesn't matter because the combination of onshore wind and monsoon moisture will keep the lineup messy. For most surfers, August is all about waiting for September's transition.
