August: Late Summer Lull

The E sector contributes 19.6 percent and NE another 11.1 percent, but most of the energy sits in the 0.5-1m (1.5-3ft) and 1-1.5m (3-5ft) ranges. Ideal winds blow 85 percent of the time, with ENE at 32.1 percent and E at 25.3 percent. The water is at its warmest, 29.0°C, with air temps of 28.6°C and precipitation at 3.77 mm/day.
