August: Hurricane Season Adds Extra Punch
August maintains the summer peak, with average heights around 5ft (1.6m) and a period of 13.4s. The swell direction is extraordinarily consistent: SSW at 48.7% and S at 39.0%, with the favorable SSE-SW quadrant totaling over 97%. The 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range is especially common, and the developing Eastern Pacific hurricane season can add extra low-latitude energy on top of the background southern-hemisphere swell.
Winds are ideal 59% of the time, with NW and NNW offshore breezes dominating, particularly during the morning hours. Water temperature reaches its warmest at 30.4°C, air stays tropical at 29.3°C, and rainfall averages 6.38mm/day. Keep an eye on any tropical cyclone in the region - even a distant one can send a beautiful, long-period southwest swell straight into this south-facing beach.
