August: Hurricane Season Sparks the First Real Hope
August remains small on average, 2ft (0.6m) and 6.3s, but it marks the beginning of the Atlantic hurricane season's peak, and the wave rose starts to show a few more SE and S/SSW signals than July. Still, the bulk of the energy is ESE (30.9%) and E (22.6%), with SE at 18.4% and almost nothing in the SSW/SW quadrant. Ideal offshore winds are 20% of the time, while E/ENE trades dominate at 10-30kph. The 30.2°C water temperature is the warmest of the year, air temps average 29.4°C, and precipitation increases to 3.79 mm/day. For surfers, the main game in August is watching the tropics: if a hurricane or tropical storm tracks through the Caribbean or the Yucatan Channel, it can deliver the rare S/SSW groundswell that this exposed southern shore is actually built for.
