Conditions at Bogan River in August
August: Raw Energy, Onshore Battle
August continues the winter theme but with a distinct shift toward WSW energy. The average swell height is still 1.9m (6ft), the period is 13.0s, and the WSW contribution at 30% nearly matches the SW contribution at 31.7%-a perfect set-up for Bogan River's west-south-west exposure. The wave height data show a lot of 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) surf, with around 19% of readings in the 2-2.5m range.
Wind is the biggest problem. Ideal offshore flow drops to just 20%, while the onshore westerly quadrant climbs to 41%. The sea surface is at its annual minimum of 13.8°C, and persistent cold fronts mean many blown-out days. Still, the occasional ENE/ESE offshore morning under a slow-moving high will give you big, hollow bowls that make winter worthwhile.
