Conditions at Vizag in August
August: The Monsoon Loosens Its Grip
August offers the first real hint of the transition ahead. Average swell height remains big at 5ft (1.5m), with S (48.0%) and SSW (41.0%) still dominant, and the period sits at a healthy 9.4s. More importantly, favourable wind jumps to 23% of the time - the best since March - and the wind distribution starts to show more E/SE and north/northwest variations alongside the dominant SW (47.1%) and WSW (29.2%) flow. The combination means that, while most days are still messy, clean windows are no longer extremely rare. A decent late-monsoon S/SSW groundswell can line up nicely if a NW/NNW offshore coincides. Air temperatures are 28.0°C, water temperature 28.1°C, and rain remains heavy at 6.62 mm/day. It's still a low season, but the pendulum is starting to swing.
