August: Late Winter, ENE Resurgence
August signals the beginning of the shift back toward Aramoana's preferred swell direction. The ENE component rises to over 9%, E and NE also add energy, and the good-direction total from N through ENE climbs to roughly 15%. Average wave height remains solid at 6-7ft (2.1m), and periods are long at 11.1s. Ideal wind time is 26%, with WSW and SW providing the clean offshore angles. Water temp reaches its annual minimum at 9.7°C, air temps average 7.8°C, and precipitation is light at 1.48 mm/day. Late winter can be fickle, but the combination of longer NE swell windows and crisp offshore mornings starts to make Aramoana a genuine option again.
