August: Monsoon Swell and a Glimpse of Cleaner Skies
August signals the first subtle improvement in surfability. The average swell height holds at 1.4m (4-5ft), the period lengthens to 9.9s, and the directional spread is still ideal, with S swell at 71.8 percent and SSW at 25.0 percent. The bulk of the S swell sits in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range, while SSW adds a solid layer of 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) waves. Wind remains rough, with SW 35.5 percent, SSW 20.2 percent and WSW 16.1 percent, but the ideal-wind statistic rises to 18 percent as N/NNE land breezes become more frequent during monsoon breaks. These are the windows worth chasing: a few hours of clean, lined-up 4-5ft south swell before the southwest flow reasserts itself. Rain remains heavy at 10.89mm/day and water is 29.1°C.
