Conditions at Furadouro in August
August: Summer Lull Continues
August mirrors July's quiet profile. Average swell height is 3ft (0.9m) with a 9.0s period, and ideal wind sits at just 10%. The swell direction is overwhelmingly NW (51.0%) and WNW (40.2%), but most of the energy falls in the 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) and 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) ranges. The north wind machine keeps blowing, with NNW at 48.9% of the wind distribution, so conditions are frequently bumpy and wind-affected. Water temperature reaches its yearly peak of 17.5°C, air temps average 20.4°C, and precipitation averages 0.75 mm/day. When a rare pulse of longer-period west swell arrives, Furadouro can still deliver clean, rippable peaks - but patience is essential.
