Conditions at Canggu in August
August: The Trade Wind Peak
August remains in the peak of the dry season, with average swell holding at a solid 2.2m (7.2ft) and 14.2s periods. The directional focus is slightly more SSW-oriented (49.7%), with S (24.3%) and SSE (5.3%) filling out the spectrum. This is a consistent, powerful groundswell regime. The trade winds are at their most robust: ESE (52.4%) and SE (36.9%) dominate the wind rose, and ideal conditions clock in at 40%. The trade winds often blow 20-30kph, which can create some bump, but the waves are so full of energy that it's still a fantastic time to surf the more protected spots. Rain is negligible at 0.72mm/day, air stays a cool 23.5°C, and water temperature dips to 26.8°C - the coolest of the year, so a spring suit might be nice for some.
