August: Waiting for the Autumn Switch
August keeps the summer flatness alive but begins to show faint signs of renewal. Average swell remains at 3.3ft (1.0m), with periods improving slightly to 7.7s. The swell rose is still dominated by S (28.4%) and SSW (28.9%), with SSE (16.7%) close behind. The E/ESE/SE window improves to about 18% (19% including ENE), largely thanks to passing hurricanes and early tropical storm activity in the Atlantic. If a tropical system tracks through the western Atlantic, Right Point can suddenly see a pulse of clean, medium-period easterly swell that cuts through the summer doldrums.
Wind is a bit more favourable than early summer: the offshore W/WNW/NW/WSW quadrant reaches 31%, the highest of the summer months, while onshore E/ESE/SE winds stay near 12%. Air temperatures peak at 18.0°C, water is warmest at 15.3°C, and precipitation is lowest at 2.60mm/day. August is a month of patience - warm water, long days and the occasional tropical prize that makes the wait worthwhile.
