Conditions at Uliss in August
August: Typhoon Season Hints at Something Bigger
August is the warmest and wettest month at Uliss. Air temps average 21.3°C, water temp also reaches 21.3°C, and precipitation peaks at 4.90 mm/day. The western North Pacific typhoon season can fire up serious storm tracks, and occasionally the southern fringe of a typhoon sends longer-period SE/S swell toward the Russian coast. In the long-term averages, though, Uliss remains tiny: the average wave height is 1.5ft (0.5m) and the average period is 5.3s. The swell rose still leans heavily on the south, with S 34.1%, SSE 20.0%, SE 19.1% and SSW 12.2%, but most of those waves are under 3.3ft (1m). Wind data finally shows slightly more balance, with the offshore quadrant at about 21.6% and the onshore monsoon at about 59%. That creates a few more clean-skin opportunities after storms. Ideal surf is 6%, meaning August can surprise, but the default state is small summer windswell.
