August: Late Winter Still Holding Strong
August keeps the winter ball rolling with an ideal wind score of 56% and an average period of 9.1s. The average swell height eases to around 4-5ft (1.4m), so it is a notch smaller than June and July, but the waves remain well organised. Swell direction is still predominantly S/SE: SSE (22.4%), SE (15.0%) and S (10.7%) combine with ESE (11.0%) and E (9.7%). What is noticeable is the return of more northerly angles, with NE (5.6%), NNE (4.8%) and ENE (8.2%) adding some complexity to the mix.
The wind regime remains favourable. W (10.2%), WSW (8.2%), WNW (8.3%) and SW (5.6%) give Angourie plenty of offshore or cross-offshore windows. NNW winds also pick up to 11.0%, which can produce clean but quirky sideshore conditions. Air temperature averages 15.6°C and the water temperature falls to its annual minimum of 19.9°C - the coldest month of the year. Precipitation is low at 1.64mm/day. A 4/3 plus booties on the coldest mornings is the standard uniform for August surf.
