August: Late Winter Transition
August holds onto winter's swell size, averaging 1.8m (5.9ft) at a 9.1s period, but ideal wind drops to 30% as the trades begin to rebuild. NE wind returns to 22.1%, though the west quadrant still provides 21.8% offshore flow, led by W at 9.2%. Swell directions split between ENE (17.5%) and S (12.1%), making wave selection tricky - the best sessions come when a W/NW breeze lines up with an ENE swell. Water temps remain cool at 15.9°C, air warms slightly to 15.7°C, and rainfall drops to 4.05 mm/day.
