August: Dry Season Grip
August represents the peak of the dry season, with precipitation down to 2.82 mm/day and river flows at their lowest. The wind rose is compressed almost entirely into the ENE quadrant at 63.2%, half of it blowing at 10-20kph, which keeps the surface bumpy and never offers the ideal offshore window. Open-ocean swell remains completely absent - 0ft (0m) and 0.0s. Water temp is up to 29.0°C, and the air is dry and warm. The tidal bore is at a seasonal low: smaller, weaker, and harder to link. Unless a new or full moon coincides with an especially high tide, August is a month to wait for the equinox to stir things back to life. Average air temperature is 26.1°C.
