Conditions at Keramas in August
August: Big Groundswell, Same Onshore Battle
August mirrors July: average swell height is about 3-4ft (1.1m), period 14.3s, and very strong SSW/S swell energy-SSW 56.2% and S 35.9%, with SSE 7.3%. The SSW category is weighted toward 3-5ft (1-1.5m) at 40.6%, with 3.9% of 5-6ft (1.5-2m). S also contributes 22.3% in the 3-5ft slot. So the energy is there, but the 1% ideal wind makes it almost exclusively a blown-out affair.
SE trades dominate: SE 45.0%, ESE 30.5%, SSE 17.6%. Wind speeds are 10-20kph for the most part, and again onshore direction is the spoiler. Dry-season weather is at its peak: just 0.47mm/day precipitation, air temps around 25.3°C (21.8-30.0°C), and the coolest water of the year at 26.5°C.
