Conditions at Satellite Beach in August
August: Hurricane Season Begins to Stir
August remains in the summer lull but with more pulse potential. Average swell rises slightly to 2ft (0.6m) and period stays around 8.1s, while ideal wind sits at 11%. E swell is the dominant wave direction at 44.9%, ESE is next at 27.6%, and the favorable directional window as a whole is over 90%. Most surf is still small, but there are a few 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) readings from E, ENE and NE as tropical lows begin to organize. Wind is still largely unfavorable: E, ESE and SE onshore flow totals around 36%, while ideal offshore flow amounts to about 19% but is often light. Water temp tops out at 84F (28.6C). As the Atlantic hurricane season ramps up, keep one eye on the tropics for the first real groundswell pulses.
