August: The Tropical Wildcard Month
August is still low season by default, but it carries big potential. The average height is 1.5ft (0.5m), and the period is 6.8s, with ESE (42.7%), E (18.7%) and SE (20.9%) dominating the swell rose. Most days are small, soft windswell, and ideal wind is at its yearly minimum of 6%. The wind pattern is mostly SW to S (SSW 10.0%, SW 10.8%, WSW 9.3%), with frequent SE/SSE sea breezes. However, this is prime hurricane season. If a tropical system tracks up the Bahamas or off the Florida East Coast, the persistent onshore flow turns into a source of real groundswell - 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) or bigger, with period jumping past 10-12s. That is the exception. Most August days are still small, and with water temp at 28.4°C, air at 27.7°C and 5.24 mm/day of rain, you can count on warm but generally flat conditions.
