Conditions at Parlementia in August
August: Still Summer Doldrums
August offers a slight uptick in consistency from July, but it's still firmly in the low season. The average swell height remains at 0.9m (3ft) and the average period creeps up to 9.4s. The direction is nearly perfect: NW dominates at a massive 66.8% (with 40.1% in the 0.5-1m range) and WNW makes up 25.7%. The problem is the complete lack of real power - most of the energy is summertime windswell generated by local sea breezes. Ideal offshore wind days are still very low at 18%, and the wind distribution is again dominated by NNW (18.8%), WNW (15.6%), NW (16.5%), and W (12.1%), meaning onshore conditions are the rule, not the exception. The ocean reaches its warmest point of the year, 22.9°C, with air temps averaging 20.8°C and precipitation at a very low 1.73 mm/day. For a surfer, August is a month for skimboarding and guesswork - you're better off chasing a rare passing swell or just enjoying the holiday beach vibe.
