August: First Hurricane Swell Opportunities
August remains small on average-1.3ft (0.4m)-but the average period rises to 7.3s, hinting at the beginning of the tropical swell season. SE 22.3% and SSE 25.0% dominate the swell rose, with ESE and E also present; almost all waves are below 3ft (0.9m). Winds are still predominantly SSW, S, SW, and SSE, which is onshore and cross-shore, but ideal wind climbs to 4%. The late-summer setup is simple: if a hurricane or tropical storm curves off the East Coast, Broadway can suddenly see clean, long-period E/SE groundswell-a rare fun-sized August score. Without it, you are chasing soft 1-2ft (0.3-0.6m) windswell in warm 25.4°C (77°F) water.
