Conditions at Hookipa Beach Park in August
August: First Stirrings of Autumn
August still looks like summer, but the seasonal tide is slowly turning. Average swell height holds at 1.3m (4.3ft) and average period climbs back to 9.0s. ENE at 57.9% and E at 32.3% still dominate the swell rose, and the optimal NNW/NW window is effectively absent. However, the percentage of ideal offshore wind improves to 17%, and some of the ENE trade swell is larger in the 1.5-2m range, offering a few more rideable 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) waves between bumpy stretches.
E and ESE trades still account for 87% of the wind observations, so clean conditions are the exception, not the rule. Water temp peaks toward 26.3°C, air temp averages 24.9°C, and rain is moderate at 1.02 mm/day. By late August, the first premature north Pacific pulses can appear on the charts - a sign that winter is just around the corner.
