Conditions at La Bocana in August
August: Peak Warm Water and Southern Hemisphere Size
August keeps La Bocana firing. Average swell height is 5.2ft (1.6m) with a 13.4s period, and the southern quadrant totals over 90% of the energy again-SSW at 48.7% and S at 39.0%. This is the most consistent south-window period of the year. The 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) band is everywhere: SSW puts 26.1% of its swell there, S adds 18.0%, and a sprinkling of 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) sets raises the ceiling. Wind remains manageable with 47% ideal conditions, as ENE/E winds in the morning and WNW/NW breezes in the afternoon create workable offshore or cross-offshore angles. The negative side is the tropical atmosphere: precipitation averages 5.35mm/day and water temp peaks at 30.7°C, the warmest of the year. August's south swell can deliver both pumping surf and stormy chaos-keep an eye on the Eastern Pacific hurricane conveyor belt, because the big swells come with the rain.
