Conditions at Mitikas in August
August: Peak Warmth, Peak Flatness
August is statistically the flattest and most onshore month of the year. The average wave is 1.3ft (0.4m), the average period drops to 3.9s - the shortest of the year - and ideal offshore wind remains at 4 percent. WNW (43.3%) and NW (20.4%) still dominate the swell rose, but these are purely local windswell pulses with no power; the over-0.5m proportions are tiny. The wind pattern is nearly identical to July, with W/WNW/NW/NNW onshore flow prevailing around 52 percent of the time. With air temperature at 26.8°C, water at 25.0°C and only 0.65mm/day of rain, the Mediterranean is at its summer peak. Surfers should be chasing early-morning land breezes or planning a road trip to a more open swell window.
