Conditions at Winkipop in August
August: Mid-Winter Consistency
August is more of the same, with a slight shift toward west in the swell direction. The average period ties for the year high at 13.0s, and the average swell height is 1.3m. SSW and SW still lead, but WSW becomes a major player at 14%, giving the corner of the coast a more westerly, wrapping feel. Ideal wind remains high at 52%, with W/WNW/NW/NNW offshore flow accounting for more than 60% of the wind observations. Water temp is the coldest of the year at 13.2°C, with air temps around 11.2°C and precipitation at its peak of 2.76mm/day.
The consistency is outstanding. Long-period groundswell pulses arrive with frequency, and the offshore wind regime keeps them clean. August is right there with July as the peak of the winter window for dedicated surfers.
