August: Micro-Swell and Morning Windows
August continues the summer lull, posting the smallest average swell of the year at 1.5m (5ft) and a short 8.4s period. The directional spread is almost meaningless, with NNW accounting for 96.6% of all swell energy and NW adding just 1.5%. The wind pattern is slightly more favorable than July but still marginal: ideal wind rises to only 23%, while NNW and NW onshore winds combine for roughly 45% of the month. The saving grace is that water temperatures reach 18.3°C, air averages 24.7°C, and rain is just 0.21mm/day. For surfers, August is best used for sightseeing the arches and saving energy for the coming autumn.
