August: The Last Big Push of Winter
August is the final full month of winter and the swell average bumps up to 4-5ft (1.4m), with a solid 9.2s period. The direction spread is broad, from ENE and E (20.2% and 18.7%) through ESE (15.2%), SE (14.2%), SSE (12.9%) and S (12.7%). The extra height is distributed across the 3-5ft (1-1.5m), 5-6ft (1.5-2m) and 6-8ft (2-2.5m) classes, so the beach is handling a lot more water. NNE winds are strong during August (28.3%), but the ideal W/NW offshore windows still clock in at 50% - enough to keep plenty of clean days in the mix. Water temperature hits the annual minimum at 17.4°C, air temps average 15.9°C, and rainfall is the lowest of the year at 2.96 mm/day. Winter is still on, but the spring transition is just around the corner.
