Conditions at Belongas Bay in August
August: Raw Power and the Lowest Wind Score
August holds the swell at a meaty 6.5ft (2.0m) with a 14.4-second period, and SSW supplies 63.2% of the wave direction while S adds another 22.3%. This is serious, heavy reef energy. Yet ideal surf wind sits at just 1%, the lowest of the year, as SE, ESE and SSE trades combine for over 94% of the observations. Most of that wind flows 10-30kph straight from the sea, leaving Belongas with powerful but ragged, wind-affected waves. Only a rare offshore land breeze or a significant easing of the trades produces surfable conditions. Water temp cools to 26.5°C, air temp is 25.4°C, and rainfall is nearly zero at 0.37mm/day.
