August: Waiting for the First Real Pulse
August looks similar to July at first glance, but the hurricane factor raises the ceiling. Average swell height is 2ft (0.6m), period 6.8s, and ideal wind only 15%. The swell direction is again heavily weighted toward E (28%), ESE (22%), ENE (18%) and NE (12%), with around 80% of all wave energy from the optimal directions. The wind remains the problem: E/ESE/SE/SSE flow is entrenched and onshore. Still, this is the month when Cape Verde systems start to produce longer-period E/ESE groundswell. If a tropical low stays far enough east and the local wind goes west, Juno can see strong, head-high surf. Most days, though, it's still small and lumpy. Water temp peaks at 30°C (86°F).
