Conditions at Suicidios in August
August: Sticky Air, Small Waves
August mirrors July. Swell averages 1.5m (4.9ft) with a period of 8.1s. N (41.4%) and NNE (24.4%) dominate the spectrum, with NNW (33.0%) still present. The energy is concentrated in the 1-1.5m and 1.5-2m bands, but with such short periods, it's more like a bumpy ocean than a surging swell.
Winds are the same story: NNE at 64.9%, N at 17.4%. Offshore wind is non-existent (0%). August is the warmest month with air averaging 22.6°C and water 22.3°C - the warmest water of the year. Precipitation is almost zero (0.08 mm/day). For surfers, this is the quintessential summer doldrums; the best session is usually a morning glass-off with small leftover windswell, but don't expect any barrels.
