Conditions at Tuncurry Breakwall in August
August: Late Winter Fires
August remains a high-quality winter month, though there are subtle signs of the coming change. Ideal wind is still a generous 44 percent, and the offshore quadrant continues to dominate: W, WSW and SW total 36.7 percent, with an increasing north-westerly component (WNW 7.4 and NW 6.5) ahead of cold fronts. The average swell height eases slightly to 5.6ft (1.7m) and the period drops a touch to 9.3s, with waves mostly in the 3-6ft (1-1.8m) range, but the surf is far from flat. Southerly swell remains the main driver-S (18.3), SSE (15.1) and SSW (7.7)-while the NNE-NE-ENE-E window starts to recover to 24.2 percent as late-winter offshore lows generate more easterly energy. Water temp is at its annual minimum of 18.7°C, with air temps around 14.5°C and the lowest rainfall of the year at 1.63 mm/day. August is the last full month of the reliable winter offshore regime, and the chance of an early-season NE groundswell arriving under a light W wind makes it a sneaky pick.
