August: Hurricane Season's First Stirrings
August still looks like summer - average height is 2ft (0.6m), period is 6.8s, and ideal wind is 17 percent - but the Atlantic hurricane season is beginning to wake up. The swell rose remains heavily weighted toward E (28%), ESE (22%), ENE (18%) and NE (12%), with almost all energy below 3ft (1m). There is a slight uptick in 3-5ft (1-1.5m) NE/ENE swell compared to July, and the period has recovered from the summer basement, which reflects the first distant tropical pulses. If a hurricane or tropical wave moves through the Bahamas, Stuart can suddenly light up; otherwise it's still small and lumpy under the Bermuda High's ESE flow. Water temp is 28.3°C, air averages 28.2°C, and precipitation is high at 6.42 mm/day.
