Conditions at Supersuck in August
August: Consistency at Maximum
August matches July's intensity with an average swell height of 1.7m (5-6ft) and a 14.4s period, but the distribution is even more locked into the SSW-SW corridor. SSW alone accounts for 78.2% of the energy, with 41.1% in the 1.5-2m range and 13.0% in the 2-2.5m range, making this the most consistent big-wave month for Supersuck. The wind remains offshore from SE (51.5%) and ESE (33.2%), but a large share is in the 20-30kph band; ideal wind sits at 52%. Expect strong, pulsing groundswell with occasional 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) sets reeling down the reef. Precipitation is near zero at 0.36mm/day, air is 24.7°C and water is 27.4°C.
If you are chasing the biggest, most consistent surf of the year, August is it - but be prepared for powerful conditions with more surface chop.
