Conditions at Easkey Left in August
August: Summer's Last Pulse
August sees the first subtle signs that the Atlantic is waking up. Average swell height has crept up to 1.3m and the period to 8.9s, and direction remains dominated by WNW at 28.3% and W at 21.2%, with NNW still contributing a handy 12.6%. Most waves are in the 0.5-1.5m range, so summer-style conditions are still the norm, but the occasional longer-period pulse can produce clean, lined-up 3-5ft (1-1.5m) sets on the reef. This is the month with the highest percentage of ideal surfing wind at 30%, as SW and WSW breezes dominate and keep the beach groomed. Water temperature reaches the annual maximum of 15.8°C, air averages 15.0°C, and rainfall is still modest at 3.62 mm/day. It is a fine tune-up month before autumn's heavy hitters return.
