Conditions at Pleasure Point in August
August: Peak Summer Glass, Minimal Power
August is the slowest month of the year at Pleasure Point. The average wave height dips to 4.3ft (1.3m), the period is 11.1s, and the swell distribution remains dominated by WNW (58.0 percent) and W (27.3 percent). It is the smallest-wave month of the summer, with nearly all waves falling in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range and only a small percentage reaching 6.5ft (2m). There is almost no south-swell energy, so the point runs purely on weak NW/WNW pulses and shadowed summer swell.
On the plus side, wind conditions are pristine: ideal offshore flow is the highest of the year at 93 percent, with W and WNW sharing the light wind fields and almost no strong wind. Rain is nearly absent at 0.04 mm/day, air temperatures peak at 18.1°C, and water temperature reaches its warmest at 13.3°C. August is made for longboarders, beginners and post-work glass sessions; just keep expectations small and the stoke high.
