Conditions at Mahabalipuram Shore Temple in August
August: Peak Offshore Grooming
August is arguably the most reliable surf month of the year. The average swell holds at around 3.6ft (1.1m), but the period peaks at 9.1s - the longest of the year - so the waves have real push. S/SSE swell is king, and although it is not the ideal SE-E direction, this beach still picks up a good amount of wrap-around energy. Wind-wise, SW and WSW are locked in, with plenty of 20-30km/h offshore flow; ideal wind reaches 38%. Bad wind from ESE-SE is almost nonexistent. In practical terms, expect consistent 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf, clean faces and the strongest monsoon rains of the year. Water temperature is 28.9°C and air temperatures are a steady 29.0°C. This is a great month for logging waves.
