Conditions at Pine Grove in August
August: Hurricane Season on the Radar
August keeps the tropical furnace running, with water temp rising to 28.8°C, the warmest of the year. Surf size averages 2-3ft (0.8m) and the period drops to 5.9s, the lowest of the year. ESE and E swells dominate again, with 48.7 and 43.8 percent respectively, while SE contributes 5.2 percent. Wind remains stubbornly cross-shore: E at 46.9 percent, ESE at 26.9 percent and ENE at 15.2 percent. Ideal wind is 49 percent, so there are clean windows, but they are shorter-lived than in June. The wild card is tropical weather. While the climatology is small, a passing hurricane or tropical wave can produce larger SSE/SE groundswell - the only time Pine Grove sees real overhead waves. On average, though, expect 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) crumbly peaks. Air temp averages 27.9°C and rainfall is 4.49mm/day. Keep one eye on the tropics and the other on the early-morning wind forecast.
