Conditions at Acapulquito in August
August: Tropical Pulse and Heavy Energy
August is peak summer at Acapulquito, with the average swell height holding at 1.2m (4ft) and the average period at 12.7s. Ideal wind is still solid at 79%. The waverose is very south-heavy - S swell at 73.1% and SSW at 20% - while SSE and SE pulses grow as tropical activity increases. The 1-1.5m (3.3-5ft) class remains dominant, but the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) and 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) categories become more common, especially from the SSE direction. Offshore winds continue from the W and WNW, but the increase in ENE-to-SE winds shows the growing influence of tropical weather systems. Precipitation jumps to 1.95 mm/day, water temperature peaks at 29.7°C, and air temperatures average 28.4°C. August brings real power and occasional pumping days, but the trade-off is a higher chance of rain and bumpy conditions during tropical pulses.
