Conditions at Kastro Point in August
August: The Warmest Water, The Smallest Waves
August is the peak of the Greek summer - and the absolute bottom of the surf curve. Average swell height is 0.4m (1.3ft) with a period of 4.1s, the shortest of the year. The favorable south quadrant generates a meager 2.6% of the swell, while WNW and NW dominate the rose with 43.3% and 20.4% respectively, nearly all of it below ankle-to-knee height. The wind is dominated by the northern quadrant, especially NE and NNW, and offshore conditions occur 15% of the time. Again, no swell means no surf. Water temperature peaks at 24.8°C, air averages 26.2°C, and rainfall stays at only 0.73 mm/day. Kastro Point in August is best enjoyed with fins, a snorkel mask, or a cold frappe on the beach - not a dedicated surfboard.
