August: Longer Summer Periods, Still Tiny
August remains in the low-swell pocket. Average height is 0.5m (1.6ft), but the period ticks up to 9.6s, showing that some stronger, longer-period pulses are beginning to filter through the Philippines. The swell distribution is still very small: E 35.3 percent, ENE 23.7 percent, ESE 13.4 percent, SE 8.8 percent, with N and NNE only 1.9 and 4.3 percent respectively. Winds are dominated by the south-southwest quadrant: SSW 9.6 percent, S 9.1 percent, SW 8.3 percent, WSW 7.5 percent, and SSE 8.6 percent. Ideal wind days are 34 percent of the time, but the lack of size means Lanuza is mostly flat, with the occasional knee to waist-high E or ENE windswell. Air temperatures are steady at 26.9°C and water temp is 29.2°C. The season is still quiet, but the lengthening periods hint at the approaching autumn transition.
