August: Small Pulses and Warm Water
August remains in the low season, but there is a slight pulse compared to July. Average swell height is 5.2ft (1.6m) with an average period of 8.8 seconds. NW swell leads the way at 26.4%, WNW follows at 19.2%, and NNW contributes 17.3%. NNE also adds 11.4%, giving the beach a mix of short-period northwest energy and more localized windswell. Most days will be small, but occasional mid-period pulses can sneak through.
The wind story is still summer-like. NNE winds dominate at 22.0%, NE adds 20.4%, and this constant northeast pressure keeps the number of ideal surfing days low at 18%. SSW and SW winds are present but less common, combining for about 15% of the wind rose. Water temperature hits the year's warmest mark at 18.6°C, air temps average 18.8°C, and precipitation is minimal at 1.20 mm/day. August is not the month to plan a Razo strike mission, unless you are happy riding small, warm, textured waves.
