Conditions at Denvils in August
August: Late Winter Still Kicking
August remains at a roaring 8ft (2.4m) of average swell with a period of 12.2s, so the late-winter groundswell train keeps unloading. SSW (20.5%) and SW (21.2%) stay the engines of the swell, and the S contribution finally begins to climb again at 9.7%. This is still a powerful, long-period swell climate.
Wind is slightly more favorable than the peak of winter: ideal time reaches 21%, with WSW (18.8%) and SW (7.9%) offering more offshore chances. Yet ENE (8.6%), E (6.4%) and NNW (6.2%) can still ruin a session if you are not paying attention. Sea temperature bottoms out at 17.4°C and air temp averages 16.1°C. Dawn patrol on the SW/WSW window is the move.
