August: Still Small, but the Hurricane Window Creaks Open
August looks almost identical to July in the averages - 1.6m (5.2ft) and 8.0s - with ENE swell at 57.2% and E at 33.5%. The east-quadrant dominance keeps Log Cabins small and junky for most of the month. However, the tropical Atlantic is heating up, and if a hurricane or tropical storm tracks north through the Bahamas or the western Atlantic, Log Cabins can suddenly see a burst of long-period NNW-NW energy and light winds. These rare events can turn August into a sneak peek of winter for a day or two.
The trade winds are still constant - ENE 50.4% and E 41.3% - and they remain offshore to cross-offshore, with ideal wind at 15%. Water temp climbs to 26.4°C, air averages 26.1°C, and rain is minimal at 1.07mm/day. August is a waiting game, best played with a groveler in the car and an eye on the tropical weather maps.
