August: Punchy SSW Groundswell and Peak Tropical Energy
August keeps the summer swell train rolling. The average height bumps back up to 5-6ft (1.6m) with a 13.1s period. SSW again dominates at 66%, with S at 23% and SW at 7%. Nearly 40% of days are in the 5-7ft (1.5-2m) range, and there is a slightly higher chance of 7-8ft (2-2.5m) surf as tropical cyclones help energize the eastern Pacific. This is a month where the background southern hemisphere swell is strong and the tropical contribution can push things up a gear.
Wind remains favorable for the surf, with ideal conditions at 44%. The N/NE offshore flow is a consistent early feature, while SE winds become noticeable but generally stay light to moderate. August is one of the wettest months at 6.13 mm/day, with air temps of 25.5°C and water temperature peaking around 30.7°C. It is rainy, sultry and thoroughly tropical - yet Pascuales is often surprisingly clean and fun.
