Conditions at Wyldewood Beach in August
August: Late Summer Micro-Swell
August remains locked in the summer pattern. The average wave height is 0.3m (1ft), the average period drops to its seasonal low of 3.1s, and SW at 20.0%, WSW at 10.6% and SSW at 10.2% dominate the swell rose. As in July, this is mostly a 0-0.5m regime, with only tiny traces of 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) energy from the SW/WSW quadrant. Winds continue to blow from the wrong direction for quality: SW at 15.7%, WSW at 14.9% and SSW at 9.1% make up a large share, and the onshore block totals around 46%. Offshore N/NNE/NE/ENE flow reaches about 19%, but ideal winds still register 0%. With air temperatures averaging 21.5°C, water temps at their summer peak, and precipitation at 2.21 mm/day, the beach is inviting - but the surf is not. Look toward the first cold fronts of September for any renewed hope.
