Conditions at Majestics in August
August: Clean Windows and Typhoon Wildcards
August offers the highest probability of ideal wind at Majestics, at 53% of the time. SW winds are the big player at 29.2%, SSW adds 17.1% and WSW 8.7%, which places this beach square in the offshore shadow. Swell size is still modest - 3.0ft (0.9m) on average - but the period ticks up to 8.8s, producing slightly more coherent lines. ENE and E swells are nearly equal at 21.7% and 23.8%, while SSW swell reaches 11%.
This is also the heart of Philippine typhoon season, and passing tropical cyclones can suddenly flip the script, sending heavier S/SSW swell toward the coast or dragging in a much more organized E/ENE groundswell. When it happens, Majestics can go from small and clean to proper head-high-plus in a matter of days. Otherwise, expect clean, warm, waist-high surf.
