Conditions at Cimaja in August
August: Maximum Size, Minimal Cleanliness
August is statistically the biggest month of the year at Cimaja. Average swell height reaches 2.0m (6-7ft), wave period holds at 14.3s, and S swell is the clear king at 62%, with SSW at 20% and SSE at 11%. The middle range is stuffed with groundswell, as most events run between 1.5m and 2.5m (5-8ft), and a few waves exceed 2.5m (8ft). However, ideal wind is a brutal 3%. SE wind alone accounts for half of all wind observations, with ESE and SSE adding another 39%, and moderate 10-20kph speeds are enough to chop the lineup into a frosted mess. August offers incredible size for the committed charger, but Cimaja is rarely the place to enjoy it.
