August: Peak Hurricane-Swell Potential
August is one of the most consistent months for real size in the eastern Pacific. Average swell height is around 4.5ft (1.3m), the average period is 13.4s, and SSW (74.5%) plus S (20.2%) once again dominate the swell window. More than 24% of the surf falls in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) category, and this is the time of year when tropical storms and hurricanes tracking off the Mexican coast can suddenly elevate Revolcadero into heavy, firing territory.
Wind quality ties with July at 49% ideal, but the atmosphere is full of moisture: August sees the highest precipitation of the year at 8.09mm/day, while average air temperature is 25.7°C and water temperature peaks at 31.0°C. Strong winds are rare in the wind statistics, but passing tropical systems can swing conditions quickly. Hunt the windows and the tides; the payoff can be an unforgettable hurricane-swell session.
