ENE continues to dominate the swell window (76.7% of wave energy), but the bulk is now in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range (53.0%), and there is less heavy 2m+ surf. Winds are still predominantly from the E/NE quadrant, but speeds are mostly in the 0-20kph range, and ideal offshore conditions improve slightly to 4%. The dry season peaks with precipitation of only 4.89 mm/day, water temp warms to 28.5°C (83°F), and air temps reach 27.7°C (82°F).
