August: Consistent Wind, No Power
August remains stuck in the trade wind doldrums. Average height is 2.5ft (0.8m) with a short 7.8 second period. ENE and E swells combine for 67 percent of the total energy, with NE at 12 percent. Essentially no true west or northwest swell reaches the spot. The winds are reliable offshore easterlies: ESE 27 percent, SE 21 percent, E 17 percent, and SSE 13 percent, producing ideal conditions 66 percent of the time. There is plenty of clean, groomed water, but the surf is small, weak, and mostly uninteresting. Precip drops to 6.01mm/day, air temp averages 27.9°C, and water temp is 29.2°C. August rewards the patient longboarder more than the performance surfer.
