Conditions at Muli in August
August: Still Heavy, Still Messy
August keeps the monsoon momentum with average swell heights at 1.7m (5.6ft) and a period of 11.1s. The swell direction is even more SSE-biased: SSE (54.7%) is the absolute dominant, with S (37.0%) still contributing. The good news is this is right in the SSE optimal window; the bad news is that the wind remains predominantly SE and SSE - SE (17.2%), SSE (18.8%), SSE/S combined at 36% - and the ideal wind percentage bottoms out at 20%. That spells a persistent onshore chop that ruins what would otherwise be heavy, grinding reef waves. Air temperatures moderate slightly to 27.6°C (25.1-29.6°C), precipitation sits at 5.54 mm/day, and the water is 29.2°C. If you happen to catch a northerly or westerly wind day in August, you might score some of the most powerful surf of the year - but the odds are stacked against you.
