Conditions at Les Culs Nuls in August
August: Late Summer Light
August offers a slight improvement on July, even if it is still firmly in the low season. Average wave height stays at 3ft (0.9m), the period bumps back to 9.4s, and favorable winds rise to 22%. NW swell still dominates at 66.8%, but there is a touch more 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) energy mixed in, suggesting the ocean is starting to remember how to make real swell. The wind pattern remains heavily NNW and NW, so the surface is often lumpy and onshore. Warm water peaks at 22.6°C, with air temperatures around 21.6°C. It is still summer, but the first hints of autumn are in the air. On a good day, with an early offshore flow, the waves are clean enough to be fun. On a bad day, you will be floating around waiting for a rogue set. Manage the expectations.
