August: Consistent and Powerful
August matches July for size - average swell height of 2.2m (7-8ft) and a 14.4s period - but the wind profile becomes a little more favorable, with ideal offshore wind back up to 57%. ESE (52.4%) and SE (36.9%) are the controlling breezes, most often in the 10-30kph range, with fewer storm-force pulses. Swell direction is led by SSW (49.7%) and S (24.3%), giving a steady stream of long-period energy through the reef. With only 0.72mm/day of rain, dry air, cool mornings around 23.5°C and water temperatures down to 26.7°C, August offers one of the best blends of size and offshore consistency of the whole winter.
