Conditions at Los Quebrantos in August
August: Small Swell, More Windows
August remains locked in summer patterns, but there is a subtle spark of life. Average swell is 0.9m (3.0ft) with a 9.0s period, and ideal winds improve slightly to 29%. NW is the workhorse at 46.0% and NNW at 33.9%, with the majority still in the 0.5-1m range. The important upgrade is that the NE/ENE wind speeds weaken and the offshore S/SSW/SW quadrant gains a few more points (6.5% combined). These small windows of offshore flow can turn a flat-ish sea into clean waist-high peelers. Water temps reach the yearly max of 20.5°C, air averages 19.5°C, and rain is minimal at 1.51mm/day. Keep your fish or single fin handy.
