Conditions at Majanicho in August
August: Same Trades, Slightly Better Lulls
August mirrors July: the North Atlantic is quiet, the trades are howling, and Majanicho is limited to short-period north windswell. Average wave height is 1.5m (4.9ft) and the period is 8.1s, so the waves are small and weak by winter standards. The swell direction is dominated by N at 41%, NNW at 33% and NNE at 24%, meaning the break is constantly receiving swell, but the quality is poor. NNE winds blow 65% of the time, N 17% and NNW 9%, leaving almost no room for clean offshore conditions - ideal wind is just 1% of observations. That said, the ocean is at its warmest: 22.3°C water, 22.8°C air, and barely any rain. For most surfers, August is a no-go for serious surfing; it is a warm-water, log-and-lounge period.
