August: Tropical Heat and Southern Swell
August mirrors July with a similar 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) average and a 13.2s period. The dominant swell directions remain ideal: SSW (48 percent), SW (34 percent), WSW (7 percent) and S (9 percent). But this is the peak of the wet season on the Mexican Pacific coast, with average precipitation of 2.07 mm/day, air temperatures around 28.8°C and water temperatures at a warm 29.0°C. Ideal wind is again only 45 percent. NW (27 percent), WNW (20 percent) and NNW (18 percent) rule the mornings, while easterly/southerly tropical moisture increases the chance of lumpy, rain-squall conditions. When it cleans up, the southwest groundswell lines are excellent-bring plenty of board wax.
