August: Waiting for Tropical Heat
August remains firmly in low season, but the numbers start to show subtle signs of life. Average wave height creeps to 0.6m, period holds at 8.1s, and ideal wind frequency improves slightly to 11%. The wave rose is almost entirely E (44.9%) and ESE (27.6%), with small amounts of NE and ENE swell beginning to reappear. More importantly, the bigger bins - 1-1.5m and 1.5-2m - start to fill in from E and ENE, a preview of fall. Winds remain dominated by ESE (13.8%), E (10.8%) and SE (11.5%), so surface conditions are still largely onshore. Water temperature peaks at 28.6°C, air temperature averages 27.6°C, and precipitation is high at 6.50mm/day. August is the month to watch the hurricane models: any tropical cyclone passing through the Bahamas or western Atlantic can send long-period 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) east swell, but the accompanying NE-ENE winds make it a wildcard.
