August: Hurricane Watch Begins
August is still a low month, but the first stirrings of hurricane season offer a glimmer of hope. Average swell height remains at 1.0m (3.3ft) and period ticks up slightly to 7.7s. S (28.4%) and SSW (28.9%) continue to dominate, with SSE adding another 16.7%, keeping the southern swell window full of small waves. Windwise, the onshore SW flow is still strong at 19.1%, while SSW adds 14.8%, leaving the ideal wind score at 33%. Water temp peaks at 15.3°C, the warmest of the year, and air averages 18.0°C. The wildcard is tropical activity: a well-placed hurricane or tropical storm off the East Coast can inject long-period south swell into Martinique, breaking the summer monotony for a day or two.
