Conditions at Love Charms in August
August: SSE Powerhouse, Still Windy
August is nearly a carbon copy of July: very solid, directional swell and a persistently messy wind regime. The average height is 1.7m (5.5ft), the period is 10.7s, and SSE swell reaches an incredible 73.1 percent of all wave energy, with S adding another 18.6 percent. The 1.5-2m band is the dominant height range - 52.7 percent from SSE alone - so Love Charms is seeing continuous head-high-to-overhead groundswell lines wrapping down the reef.
Ideal wind sits at only 17 percent. SSE (12.9 percent), S (12.6 percent), SW (11.2 percent), WSW (10.6 percent), SSW (10.5 percent), SE (11.0 percent) and W (8.9 percent) combine to make the surface lumpy more often than not. Rainfall is 5.63 mm/day, air temperature 27.6°C, water temp 29.4°C. August has the consistency and size, but you have to hunt hard for the rare clean tide change.
