Conditions at Kalapaki Beach in August
August: Consistent Southeast Swell and Clean Mornings
August is one of the most reliable months for Kalapaki. The average open-ocean swell is still 5.6ft (1.7m) at 9.3s, and while E (53.3%) and ENE (27.5%) dominate the rose, the optimal SE/SSE/S/SSW window accounts for 3.9% of all swell observations - much of it concentrated in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6.6ft (1.5-2m) range. That is the south-southeast pulse you need for this south-facing bay.
Windwise, ENE blows 68.1% of the time and E another 18.1%, but the ideal surfing wind share jumps to 39%, the highest of summer. With water temps at 26.5°C, air at 25.9°C (23.1-29.1°C), and only 1.21 mm/day of rain, it is tropical and fun. Look for the outgoing tide and a touch of southeast groundswell; the bay will be peeling nicely.
