Conditions at Yin Yang in August
August: The Peak Of Consistency
August may be the most consistent month of the year for clean Yin Yang. Ideal wind is 57%, average swell height is 1.3m (4.3ft), and the period remains solid at 7.1s. The standout feature is the massive concentration of SSE swell at 50.2%, with another 26.5% from the S and 11.8% from the SSW. A remarkable 45.4% of all waves come from the SSE in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class, which means the reef is seeing clean, shapey lines day after day. Offshore winds from WSW, W and WNW keep the surface smooth, and the extra south in the swell helps wrap nicely onto Yin Yang's banks. If you want quality, high-percentage surf in the Maldives, August is hard to beat.
