Conditions at Barra de la Cruz in August
August: Reliable Swell, Rainy Interludes
August is a month of consistency on the swell front, but the wet season still keeps the wind in a tug-of-war. Average height is 5.2ft (1.6m), period is 13.4s, and S/SSW swells account for nearly 88% of the energy. The SSW lobe is slightly larger at 48.7%, with S at 39.0%, and enough SSE in the mix to keep the banks and corners lined up. Ideal offshore winds are 47%. The wind rose shows a strong E/ENE signal and moderate WSW/W/WNW flow, so mornings often have cleaner conditions before the sea breeze builds. Rain averages 5.35mm/day, water temp peaks at 30.7°C, and air temps stay warm. Without cold fronts, there are few huge events, but the background south groundswell is dependable and the right sandbar can still dish out memorable sessions.
