Conditions at Star Tubes in August
August: Typhoon Swell Potential
As the southwest monsoon peaks, average swell height rises to 4ft (1.3m) and periods lengthen a touch to 7.4s. Once again, SW (48.0%) dominates, with WSW (15.4%) and SSW (10.8%) close behind. The tropical storm machine of the western Pacific can occasionally spin up more westerly energy, but the day-to-day swell remains short-period and shadowed. Winds are mostly from SSW (27.2%) and S (24.2%), with the ideal wind window at 44%. August is one of the wettest months (15.83mm/day), and the air/water temperatures sit at a warm 26.4°C / 29.8°C. Conditions are generally poor-to-marginal, but keep an eye on the satellite images for typhoon-induced westerly swell - those rare events will have Star Tubes firing.
