August: Biggest Waves, Toughest Winds

August maintains the heaviest average swell of the year-7-8ft (2.2m)-with a long 14.1-second pulse. S (44.1%) and SSE (18%) swells are abundant, and there is plenty of heavy potential when the 2-2.5m band shows up. However, the wind statistics are brutal: SE winds account for 61.8% of the observations, and ESE adds another 32.9%, with a large share blowing 20-40kph. Only 16% of the time is the wind ideal. The result is often big, powerful, but wind-affected surf that turns to chop or closes out. Water temperature falls to 27.2°C, air averages 25.6°C, and precipitation is minimal at 1.8mm/day. Look for early dawn patrols and any passing window of lighter ESE flow.
