August: Size Holds, Winds Get Tricky
August holds the swell size at 6ft (1.8m), but the mix shifts. NE and ENE swells gain ground (NE 9.2%, ENE 15.6%), while the favored SE/SSE/S/SSW window tightens to about 40%. Period stays at 9.3s, so there is still energy, but the percentage of ideal wind drops to 27% - the first real sign that spring is approaching. Stronger NNE and NE winds (29.2% and 16.7%) can groom early mornings but also add bump as the day goes on.
Water temperature is at its seasonal low of 17.3°C, with air temps around 17.2°C and rain at 3.11 mm/day. SSW and SW winds still blow at 12.7% and 12.6% respectively, so it is a month of mixed quality. When the wind gets right and a solid S groundswell pushes in, August is still capable of excellent waves.
