Conditions at Isla de Santa Marina in August
August: Warm Water and Clean Small Waves
August keeps summer's low-energy theme, but with a slightly better wind statistic. Average swell remains at 1.0m (3ft) and period ticks up only mildly to 9.2 seconds. NW and NNW are again the dominant directions (59 and 25 percent), but the energy is almost entirely in the 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) window. The beach still picks up all available NW swell, making it one of the more consistent summer spots along this coast when other areas are flat.
Ideal wind reaches 46 percent, the best of the summer months, thanks to a healthy E and ENE flow that cleans up the morning surf. The water is at its warmest, 21.9°C, with air temps averaging 20.8°C and little rain (1.2mm/day). It's the classic summer surf session: warm, mellow and small, with the occasional fun-sized pulse for those who time it right.
