August: Still Firing, Just Slowing Down
August stays squarely in the winter sweet spot. Average swell remains a robust 2.8m (9ft) at 12.3s, and ideal wind is a solid 42% (NNW 16%, NW 15%, WNW 11%). SW swell still leads (18%), with WSW and SSW both around 9%, maintaining excellent direction for the beach. The difference from June and July is a slight increase in ESE and E winds (18% combined) as the first touch of spring sneaks in. That means more bumpy days, but also plenty of clean windows between fronts. Water temp bottoms out at 14.8°C and air temps are similarly cool. If you want the last pristine winter swells before the transition begins, August delivers.
