August: Still Solid, Windows Tighten
August keeps the winter alive with an average swell of 6ft (1.8m) and a 12.9-second period, but the wind begins to shift. SW swell peaks at 67.5%, with WSW adding another 21.5%, so the direction is as good as it gets. The problem is that ideal offshore winds drop back to 4%, making the good windows a bit rarer. The swell is also slightly larger, with 16.3% in the 7-8ft (2-2.5m) class and some 8ft+ (2.5m+) sneaker sets mixed in.
The water is the coldest of the year at 12.5°C, air temps average 13.9°C, and rainfall drops to 0.40 mm/day as the spring transition approaches.
