August: Consistent South Swell, Stormy Reminders
August mirrors July in many ways. SSW (48.7%) and S (39.0%) dominate, with SSE (6.3%) rounding out a very favourable southern sweep. Average swell holds at 5.2ft (1.6m) with a 13.4s period, so there's ample long-period power in the water. The beach will be picking up plenty of clean, rippable surf in the 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) range, especially whenever a tropical system in the South Pacific or the eastern Pacific adds energy to the S/SSW fetch.
The downside is the weather. Ideal offshore wind declines to 47%, and precipitation stays high at 5.35 mm/day. Water temp peaks at 87.3°F (30.7°C) - the warmest of the year - while air temps average 70.7°F (21.5°C). It's classic tropical wet season surfing: heavy, warm, and occasionally firing, but you'll be working around storm cells and sticky humidity.
