August: Big Swell, Shrinking Clean Windows
August keeps the winter production line running with 5.2ft (1.6m) average swell and a 14.1s period. SW swell is even more dominant at 64.3%, along with SSW at 22.1% and WSW at 7.8%. Most of the surf is in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6ft (1.5-2m) range, but the 2-2.5m (6.6-8.2ft) class is also well represented. The challenge is wind: S flow jumps to 19.7% and SSE to 21.1%, while ideal offshore conditions drop to 26%. The waves are powerful, but the key is picking off the mornings when SE/ESE flow keeps the lines clean. Water temp dips to 22.1°C and air temps average 19.2°C.
