August: The Most Consistent Clean Wind Month
August has the highest clean-window percentage of the entire year at 30%. NNW (10.6%) and NW (6.0%) winds combine with W/WNW flows to make offshore conditions a regular occurrence, while the SE wind share drops to levels that no longer trash the surface. The trade-wind swell is still present but a little smaller: E (17.2%), ESE (17.5%), SE (16.0%) and SSE (10.3%) feed the beach a steady diet of 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) waves with an 8.1s period. It may not have the raw size of January, but the quality-to-consistency ratio is unbeatable. Water temperature is at the annual minimum of 19.7°C, and rain stays very low at 1.64mm/day.
