August: Tropical Promise in the Low Season
August still belongs to the low season, but there is a subtle change. Average swell height is 3ft (0.9m) while the average period ticks up to 7.5s, signalling a slight increase in organized swell. The S/SE/SSE complex controls the rose again, with SSE at 23.1%, SE at 20.3% and S at 16.3%. Most waves remain in the 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) class.
Winds are a mixed bag. SSW and SW still dominate, but the ideal-wind figure improves to 28%, and late-month cold fronts begin to offer more NW/NNW windows. This is also peak hurricane season. A well-timed tropical cyclone can deliver excellent ESE/SE groundswell with long periods. Water temperature peaks at 23.8°C, air averages 23.7°C, and precipitation rises to 3.71mm/day - keep an eye on the tropics and an ear on the wind forecast.
