August: Late-Summer Build and Typhoon Potential
August is the turning point of the low season. The average swell is still only 2.3ft (0.7m), but the average period lengthens to 9.0s, a sign of more organized energy. Swell directions are more balanced: ENE at 26%, E at 19% and NE at 10%, with WSW at 8% and W at 5% also showing up. Offshore wind jumps to 29%, and the W, WNW, NW and NNW combination provides more clean-condition opportunities than any month since early spring. Water temperature is 29.3°C, air temperatures average 27.9°C, and rainfall drops to 5.8mm per day. This is also the beginning of the active West Pacific typhoon season, so a well-placed tropical cyclone can quickly transform this small summer window into a heavy, long-period event.
