Conditions at Maria's in August
August: Tropical Humidity, Small Surf
August remains firmly in the low season. Average height is again 3.3ft (1.0m) and average period is 7.1 seconds. The swell rose is still trapped in the ENE (61.7%) and E (19.6%) quadrants, with NE at 11.1%, and very few waves reach the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) class. The wind remains favorable 86% of the time -- ENE (32.1%) and E (25.3%) are the main players -- so texture is usually okay, but the lack of period and wrong swell angle keep Maria's small and mostly mushy. Air temperature is 28.6°C, water warms to 29.0°C, and rainfall rises to 3.77mm/day. It is worth monitoring Atlantic tropical systems this month: they offer the best chance of a late-summer SW pulse.
