August: Cleanest Wind of the Year, Waiting on Typhoons
August delivers the highest percentage of favorable surf wind of any month at Tago River - 70% ideal - while the average swell remains small at 2.5ft (0.8m). The period, however, is a respectable 9.6s, so pulses have a bit more push. Swell direction is mixed: E (32%) and ENE (27%) lead, with ESE and SE combining for about 27%. Onshore N/NNE/NE/ENE winds drop to around 11%, and offshore S/SSW/SW/WSW flow is roughly 52%. For those willing to ride waist-high glassy walls, this is one of the most pleasant months of the year. The wildcard is the western North Pacific typhoon season: a storm tracking through the Philippine Sea can send an unexpected NE/ENE groundswell straight into the beach, but it remains the exception rather than the rule.
Air temps average 26.9°C (23.3-34.0°C), rainfall is 6.32 mm/day, and water temp remains warm at 29.4°C.
