August: Waiting for the Season to Turn
August remains locked in the summer pattern, but there are subtle signs of life for swell lovers. The average height stays at 3ft (1.0m), the period creeps up to 7.1s, and the NE quadrant begins to contribute a little more while NNE adds a small but notable 2%. Still, ENE and E together account for over 81% of the energy - far from ideal for this beach. The good news: the first hurricane-season waves start to show up as tropical cyclones become more active in the Atlantic, occasionally sending longer-period pulses that reach this coastline. Ideal wind sits at 38%, water temperature is the year's warmest at 28.9°C, and air averages 27.9°C with 4.29mm/day of rain. Keep the expectations low but the radar app open.
