Conditions at Los Tubos in August
August: Hurricane Season Heats Up
August is the first month when the tropical Atlantic starts to threaten-and occasionally help-Los Tubos. Average height remains 4.3ft (1.3m), period 6.0s. The swell direction data is still dominated by ENE (76.6%) and E (15.4%), with a slight increase in NE (5.5%) and NNE (1.5%). Heights cluster in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, but the background trade-wind swell is consistent. More than the averages, August is about variability: when a hurricane or tropical storm moves through the western Atlantic, swell direction can shift north/east and produce much larger surf in a matter of days. Wind conditions are very favorable, with E 47.0%, ENE 24.1%, and ESE 19.0%, and ideal wind at 81%. Water temp is 28.8°C, air 27.9°C, and precipitation is increasing at 4.49mm/day. Keep an eye on the tropical forecast.
