August: Summer Swell with Fickle Winds
August brings the same summer swell mix: SW at 63.2% and SSW at 30.8%, with small but long-period waves (average 1.0m at 13.2 seconds). The wind is the struggle - ideal only 68% of the time, the lowest of the year along with September. NNE (13.5%) and NNW (13.6%) remain but are challenged by strong ENE (6.5%) and even SSE/SSW components. Precipitation peaks at 11.12 mm/day, and water is at its warmest, 30.8°C. The waves have plenty of power from the south, but choppy, onshore conditions dominate unless you can hit the dawn patrol before the sea breeze builds. August is not without its gems, but expect to sort through plenty of average days.
