August: Power and Periods Peak
August is the month of maximum wave period at Blaketown Wedge, with the average reaching 12.4s. Combined with a 2.0m (6.5-7ft) average swell, this represents the peak of the groundswell season. Swell direction is still dominated by WSW/W, but the WNW sector is starting to grow - a sign of transitioning storm tracks. Ideal offshore flow remains strong at 62 percent, although slightly lower than June and July as the first hints of spring sneak into the wind statistics. The water is at its coldest for the year, down to 11.8°C, but the powerful, walled-up wedges breaking over the sand are well worth it. Expect a mix of classic right-handers and the occasional left when the WNW has plenty of west in it.
