August: Same Summer Story
August keeps Pacific City locked in the summer pattern, though the light at the end of the tunnel starts to appear. Average swell height remains at 4.3ft (1.3m), while the period ticks up slightly to 10.0 seconds. WNW is now the dominant swell direction at 41.6%, followed by NW (27.6%) and W (21.7%); the majority of waves are in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range, with a few fun 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) sets. Ideal wind improves a little to 15% of the time, but NNW winds still dominate at 46.8%, and NW contributes 11.5%. Water temp is 12.0°C, air averages 15.4°C, and there is almost no rain at 0.6 mm/day. Look for early-morning offshore easterlies to turn the NW windswell into clean, punchy little wedges - otherwise, it is a longboard summer special.
