Conditions at Manazillo Bay in August
August: Peak Tropical Energy
August is one of the most exciting months of the year on the Mexican Pacific coast. Average swell height reaches 1.6m, with solid 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) waves accounting for over 40 percent of the spectrum, and the average period of 13.2s keeps the energy organized. Swell direction remains SSW/S at 63 percent and 27 percent, but wind is the big story: ideal conditions score 46 percent, the second-best of any month. This is also the heart of eastern Pacific tropical cyclone season, so localized hurricane or tropical-storm swell can produce overhead-plus sessions with little warning. With 26.8°C air, 30.8°C water and 6.5 mm/day of rain, it is a warm, volatile and potentially epic surf month.
