August: Cleanest Wind Windows of the Year, but Small Waves

August is the most interesting low-season month at Ngor Rights. The average swell remains small at 1.3m (4.3ft) with a period of 9.3s, and the swell direction shifts strongly toward the westerly quadrant: NW 30.8%, WNW 20.5%, W 15.4%, NNW 14.1%, WSW 11.2% and SW 6.7%. That means the reef sees a lot of softer, less organized swell, sometimes with a windswell component. Yet the wind regime improves dramatically. The monsoon trough brings lighter and more variable flow, with SE, SSE and other offshore winds becoming more common, and ideal surfing wind jumps to 18% - the second-best month of the year. Rain is active at 4.82mm/day, air temperatures average 27.2°C, and water temperature peaks at 28.4°C. When the SE breeze cleans up the small NW swell, Ngor Rights can still deliver rippable, fun-sized waves in the 3-4ft range.
