August: More of the Same with a Hint of Autumn
August remains in summer lull mode, with 1.5-2ft (0.5m) average swell and a 5.3s period. The south-southeast quadrant is still the main source: S 34%, SSE 20%, SE 19%, and SSW 12%. In fact, the ideal ENE/E/ESE/SE swell window totals around 23% in August, the highest of the year, but wave heights are almost entirely in the 0-0.5m and 0.5-1m ranges. Winds are onshore/cross-shore from SSE and S, while NNW winds begin to creep back with 12%. Air temp is the warmest at 21.3C, water temp ties at 21.3C, and rainfall is the highest of the year. The last month of meteorological summer still delivers very little rideable surf.
