Conditions at Serangan in August
August: Peak Dry-Season Grind
August is Serangan's most challenging month for clean conditions. The swell remains big: average wave height around 7ft (2.1m), period 14.4s, with SSW at 49.7 percent, S at 24.3 percent, and SSE at 5.3 percent. That is plenty of size to charge. Yet the wind statistics are brutal - ESE winds hold a 52.4 percent share and SE another 36.9 percent; ideal offshore flow is 0 percent. For much of the month the prevailing trades are onshore, stripping the waves of meaningful form and turning the surface into a bumpy, cross-chop mess. Water temperature drops to 26.5°C, air sits near 23.5°C, and rain is almost non-existent at 0.72 mm/day. If you find Serangan working in August, it's likely because you're sheltering from the trades rather than riding the open peaks.
