August: Small but Consistent with Morning Windows
August remains small, but there are subtle signs of the autumn shift. Average swell is 1.3m (4.3ft) and the period ticks up slightly to 10.0s. Direction-wise, the swells are heavily concentrated in the optimal WNW (41.6%), NW (27.6%) and W (21.7%) sectors, with WSW adding 7.2%. The wind is still the limiting factor: NNW blows 47.1% of the time and ideal wind only 14%, but that is already better than July. Most days are fun, rippable, waist-to-shoulder-high waves, generally cleaner in the morning before the north wind builds. Water temp is 11.4°C, air 15.4°C and rainfall 0.61 mm/day. By the end of the month, the first real long-period pulses begin to arrive and the surf starts to wake up.
