Conditions at Sanur in August
August: XL Southern Swell Still Wasted
August mirrors July almost exactly: 7.2ft (2.2m) average swell, 14.2-second period, and a wind regime that is relentlessly from the ESE-SE quadrant. SSW is 49.7% of the swell, with S at 24.3% and SSE at 5.3%. A huge proportion of the energy is in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range, and the 27.4% of SSW waves in the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) class indicates serious power. Yet ideal wind holds at a dismal 1%, with ESE at 52.4% and SE at 36.9%. The ocean surface is mostly chopped-out and lumpy. This is the driest month at 0.72mm/day and has the coolest water at 26.5°C, reflecting the heart of the dry season. Sanur is best treated as a rest day or a wind-sheltered paddle in August.
