Conditions at Boulevard in August
August: The Cleanest Core
August is one of the best months of the year at Boulevard. The average swell height is still modest, near 2.5ft (0.7m), but the period lengthens to 9.7s, giving the waves more push. E (36%) and ENE (31%) swell dominate, while SE and ESE add some variety. The wind regime is all about the southwest monsoon: SW (20%), WSW (17%), W (10%) and SSW (13%) flow set up a strong offshore component for this east-facing shore, and ideal wind peaks at 57%. With clean, groomed surfaces and consistent 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) waves, this is prime time for high-performance surfing on a shortboard or twin fin. Tropical storm activity in the Philippine Sea can also send in bonus pulses of longer-period ENE swell. Air temp is 28.1°C, rainfall 5.96mm/day, and water temp 29.2°C.
