Conditions at Aviones in August
August: Hurricane-Season Windswell
August is similar to July with a slightly lower average height of 0.8m (2-3ft) and the shortest average period of the year at 5.9s. E and ESE swells again dominate, with 43.8 percent and 48.7 percent respectively. The tropical Atlantic is warm and active, and passing tropical waves can add extra pulse, but most of the surf remains short-period windsea.
Ideal wind improves a little to 33 percent, but E winds still dominate at 46.9 percent, keeping the surface textured. Water temperature peaks at 28.8°C while air temperatures average 27.9°C. Rainfall increases to 4.49 mm/day as tropical moisture and storm activity build. This is a month for watching the tropics: if a storm tracks well to the east, Aviones can see a bump in swell, but the default is small and bumpy.
