Conditions at The Streets in August
August: Waiting on Tropical Magic
August still sits deep in the summer lull, but there is a glimmer of hope as the Atlantic hurricane season begins to awaken. Average swell height is only 0.6m (2ft) with an average period of 7.7s. E and ESE swell are again the main sources, totaling 32.8% and 35.6%, with ENE at 10.9%, but most of the energy remains small and disorganized. The ideal wind score sits at 12%, and the prevailing ESE/SE/E trades make typical days choppy. However, any tropical system that develops in the Atlantic or Caribbean can send longer-period E and ESE swell that turns the spot on, even if onshore winds often accompany it. Air temperature averages 28.0°C, water temperature is 28.6°C, and the wet season supplies 6.27 mm/day of rain.
