Conditions at Punta Chipehua in August
August: More Southern Pulses, Less Clean Surf
August looks a lot like July, trade hands: NNE and NE winds make up 42% of the wind distribution, offshore wind drops to 20%, and the swell direction is overwhelmingly S/SSW (86%). The average period is still quality at 13.5s, and the average height 1.4m, but it rarely translates into glassy, organized surf at this ENE-facing nook. When the dreaded ENE/NE wind locks in, the waves are walled-up and lumpy. That said, the eastern Pacific tropical cyclone season is active in August; a well-tracked hurricane or tropical storm can throw long-period, heavy S/SW energy into the region. Those swells are usually too big or messy, but a perfect combination with SW offshore winds could deliver memorable XL surf. Water 30.5°C; rain 5.48 mm/day.
