August: Offshore Consistency, Slightly Better Swell
August brings the first hints of summer-to-autumn transition. The wind remains stellar: ideal conditions 34% of the time, with WSW (30.5%) and SW (13.6%) combining with W (10.5%) to create the most consistent offshore flow of the year. Swell size is still small -- average 0.7m (2.3ft) and period 9.0s -- but the waverose shows a healthy progression: ENE (25.9%), E (19.3%), NE (10.4%), plus a growing west component (WSW 8.4%, SW 6.4%, W 5.3%). The dominant wave heights remain in the 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) category, but longer-period pulses start to peek through. Water temperature is 29.3°C, air 28.1°C, and precipitation 5.66 mm/day. Consistency is the name of the game -- clean, rideable waves every day, just don't expect pumping size yet.
