Conditions at Playa Bluff in August
August: Holding Summer Scraps
August is still on the good side of fair, but it is losing momentum. Average height drops to 1.0m (3-3.5ft), period eases to 7.9s, and the NE direction remains dominant at 97%. The distribution is now almost evenly split between 0.5-1m and 1-1.5m, so expect long lulls between fun-size sets. Ideal wind remains 43%, and the NNW/NW flow keeps the surface reasonably organised. Rain is still substantial at 8.52 mm/day, and water temperature is 28.7°C. August is for the patient surfer: glassy windows can still produce memorable sessions, but consistency has started to fade.
