Conditions at Los Frailes in August
August: Tropical Juice in the Water
August is where the tropical cyclone season starts injecting real size into the swell window. The S/SSE signal remains dominant at over 98 percent, and the SE/SSE quadrants deliver a larger share of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) surf than at any point so far. The catch remains the wind: only 29 percent ideal, with SE/S onshore flow frequent. Water temperatures reach 29.9°C, air temps average 29.5°C, and precipitation jumps to 2.30 mm/day as monsoon moisture spreads over the region. When a tropical storm or hurricane tracks through the eastern Pacific, Los Frailes can suddenly go from messy to serious. It is a high-reward, low-consistency month that demands constant forecast checking.
