Conditions at Adonis in August

August: One of the Wet Season's Best Bets

August may sit inside the rainy season, but it shapes up as one of the better months for mixing size and direction at Adonis. The average swell is 1.4m (4.6ft) with the longest average period of the year at 12.1s, and the S/SSE component is much more present than in May or June. Wind direction is split fairly evenly between W/SW and WNW/NW, which keeps the ideal wind score around 46%. Rainfall is still substantial at 5.83 mm/day, air temperature is 27.6°C, and the water remains warm at 29.3°C. The ocean may be inconsistent between pulses, but when a solid S/SSE groundswell lines up with a northwesterly breeze, Adonis becomes genuinely excellent.
