August: Heavy Swell With Spring Hints
August holds onto winter's power, with the average swell height still at 2.4m (7.9ft) and the period at 12.2s. The direction mix remains highly favorable for power, if not for direct direction: SW (21.2%), SSW (20.5%) and S (9.7%) are the primary players, while the ideal NE/ENE/E window stays almost silent. The wind regime is one of the most offshore-heavy of the year - WSW (18.8%) and W (13.5%) lead the charge, and the combined SSW-SW-WSW-W flow makes up around 43% of observations. That said, E and ENE flow still appear 15% of the time, so there are still plenty of junky cross/onshore days. With ideal wind at 23%, August is all about picking the post-frontal windows. Water temp is down to 17.4°C, and air temps average 16.1°C.
