Conditions at El Chinchorro in August
August: Late Summer Consistency
August continues the summer trade window with ideal surf wind at 61%. The average wave height eases to 1.0m (3.3ft) with a 6.2s period, but the mix from E and ESE remains substantial - E at 29.4% and ESE at 55.5%. The S/SSW/SW window is still barren at 0.7%, so tropical cyclone swell is not yet a reliable factor. NNW winds lead the way at 33.5%, keeping the Southeast-facing beach in a largely offshore regime. Onshore SE winds are weaker than in spring at 6.2%, making for cleaner but still short-period surf. Air temperature sits at 27.8°C, water temperature at 28.9°C, and precipitation climbs to 1.97 mm/day as tropical waves become more frequent. August offers fun, grovelly waves if you time the early morning offshore flows.
