Conditions at Andran in August
August: Small Swells, Warm Water
August looks a lot like July at Andran, with average swell height at 1.0m (3ft) and period at 9.1s. The swell distribution is actually a touch better than July - NW represents 50% of recorded swell, NNW 32%, and there are slightly more 1-1.5m (3-5ft) waves in the mix - but it still falls short of a true autumn rebuild. The long-period data simply isn't there yet.
The wind is ideal just 14% of the time. ENE and E cross-shore flow remains the most common pattern, with NW and NNW onshore wind also well represented. A morning S/SSW offshore breeze can occasionally clean things up before the sea breeze ruins the surface. Water temperature peaks at 21.4°C, air averages 20.1°C, and precipitation is only 1.38mm/day - warm but marginal.
