Conditions at Wabasso in August
August: Subtle Tropical Swell Potential
August sees a whisper of change. The average swell height rebounds slightly to 0.6m (2ft), the period holds at 8.1s, and ideal wind improves only marginally to 15%. East swell dominates the charts at 44.9%, with ESE 27.6% and ENE 13.3% - still mostly under the 1m mark. The wind regime remains onshore from the ESE (13.4%), E (11.8%) and SE (10.2%), so the normal surf is choppy and soft. But August is the beginning of the peak tropical window, and the possibility of a hurricane generating long-period E/ENE groundswell is real. If one lines up with a wind shift, Wabasso can suddenly light up. Average air temps are 27.6°C and water temp peaks at 29.0°C - boardshorts weather, for sure.
