Conditions at Casino Pier in August
August: Late Summer Tropical Wildcard
August is still small on average, with 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) and a period of 7.5s, but it carries more tropical potential than June or July. The swell rose is dominated by SSE (25.7%) and SE (23.2%), with E at 9.4% and ESE at 13.3%. Most days are soft summer windswell, but the Atlantic hurricane season begins to ramp up, and any Cape Verde system tracking through the western Atlantic can send long-period E/SE groundswell into Casino Pier.
Wind conditions are frequently from the SSW/SW quadrant, though ideal surf wind shows 46%, one of the better summer numbers. Water temperature is warm at 23.1°C, air temperatures average 23.5°C, and the tropical warmth of the ocean adds energy to any incoming swell. August is a low-confidence month: often flat and small, yet capable of delivering the first serious swell of the fall when the tropics wake up.
