August: Still XXL, Slightly Cleaner
August maintains winter's heavy momentum. The average swell remains at 2.4m (7.9ft), period at 12.2s, with SW at 21.2% and SSW at 20.5% continuing to dominate. The distribution is remarkably consistent, with solid 1.5-2.5m surf the most common outcome and enough XXL energy to keep the chargers honest. Ideal wind improves marginally to 21%, and although WSW at 18.8% and W at 13.5% are still common, there are more clean SW/SSW offshore windows between fronts than in June or July. The onshore N-NE influence lessens slightly but still comprises around 20%, so the early-morning check remains essential. Water temperature dips to its minimum of 17.4°C, air averages 16.1°C, and precipitation is 1.34 mm/day. This is a great month for surfers seeking big, long-period groundswell without the extreme wind stress of midwinter.
