August: Consistent SSW Lines With a Tropical Beat
August may not be the biggest month, but it is consistent. Average swell height holds at 1.4m (4.5ft) with a 13.2s period, and SSW supplies 78% of the swell energy, S 16%, and SW 5%. The bulk of the waves sit in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) bracket at 57%, with about 19% in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range and a few 2-2.5m sets. This is proper, long-period SSW groundswell for Conchalio's exposure. Wind is passable: ideal wind is 57%. NNE is the leading offshore breeze at 12.4%, supported by NE at 8.6% and NNW at 7.2%, though E and ESE flow is also common and can add texture. The wet season is in full swing with 6.95mm of rain per day, so expect afternoon convective storms. Air temperature is 27.1°C and water temperature 30.4°C. Morning sessions before the daily convection build are the key to staying in clean waves.
