August: The Biggest Swells and the Worst Wind Odds
August is the peak of the dry-season wind regime - and the absolute peak of the swell curve. Average wave height hits 7ft (2.1m), the highest of the year, at 14.4 seconds. S (50%) and SSW (27%) swells are pumping, with 38.9% of observations in the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) range and a small but significant wedge of XL sets over 8ft+ (over 2.5m). At the same time, SE winds blow 60% of the month and ideal wind only 5% - the lowest all year. Most of the time Inside Rights is a roaring, shifting, blown-out beast. Only the rare passage of a weak low, a land breeze at dawn, or a monsoon pulse from the north can open a clean enough window. Air is 26.9°C, water is 28.3°C, and rain is just 2.1mm/day - this is pure trade-wind season.
