August: Trade Winds Dominate a Sleeping Giant
August remains firmly in the summer doldrums. Average swell is still 4ft (1.3m) and period is 9.0s. The trade-wind sea from ENE accounts for 57.9% of all swell, with E at 32.3%; there is no measurable N or NNW groundswell in the data. E winds blow 68.5% of the time and ideal offshore wind is only 14%. The occasional pulse of longer-period swell may show on the buoy, but it rarely has the direction or size to organize at Jaws. This is a month for surf trips elsewhere, not for one of the world's heaviest reef breaks. Air temp averages 24.9°C, water temp 26.3°C, and rainfall is still light at 1.02mm/day.
