When to apply compost topdressing to warm season lawn

Please forgive me if this subject has been addressed in this forum already--I searched and could not find an answer.
I'd like to add a compost topdressing to my zoysia lawn. I've read that it's best to apply in the springtime, and I've read anecdotes that it's okay to apply any time during the growing season. Can anyone verify this? Is it okay for me to add a compost topdressing to my warm season grass now (August)?

FWIW, I'm planning to do this to give a boost to the organisms in my lawn. I mulch mow, apply tea, and alfalfa pellets, but I've never applied compost (other than the compost/topsoil mix that the landscaper used when he installed the sod a year and a half ago).

Thanks to all for your advice.
-Ryan
