August: Late Summer Consistency
August remains in the excellent category with 35% ideal offshore wind - only September and October are cleaner. The average swell drops slightly to 1.1m (3.5ft) and the period to 7.8s, but the NE direction remains the overwhelming driver (97.2%). The wind rose is similar to June: NE winds are down to 17.4% and there is a healthy mix of westerly and southerly flows. This translates to countless clean sessions throughout the month. Water temp is 28.8°C and the frequent tropical downpours (7.40 mm/day) add fresh juice to the lineup. It may be a notch smaller than July, but the consistency of clean conditions makes August a very safe bet for decent surf.
