Conditions at Isdhoo in August
August: The Most Consistent Month of the Year
August takes the crown for consistency. Ideal wind peaks at 54%, with W (18%), WSW (17%), WNW (15%), SW (12%) and NW (7%) maintaining a strong offshore/cross-offshore signal. Swell averages 4ft (1.3m) with a 7.1s period. The wave rose is remarkably concentrated: SSE (50%), S (27%), SSW (12%) and SW (6%). This is a relentless conveyor belt of short-period southern monsoon swell. The caveat for Isdhoo remains the direction - south swell is not the same as north swell - but with so many clean wind days, the energy wraps, refracts and lines up on the reef enough to make August a go-to month. Rain is 6.0mm/day and water temp is 29.2°C.
