Conditions at Entella in August
August: Hottest, Smallest and Fickle
August is statistically Entella's smallest month. The average swell height is 0.4m (1.5ft), the period falls to a yearly low of 4.6s and ideal winds clock in at just 9 percent. SW energy remains prominent at 35.6 percent, with WSW at 19.3 percent, but the vast majority of those waves sit in the 0-0.5m class. When the beach does pick up a pulse, it is a short-period windswell with little form and even less push.
The wind regime is dominated by NNE at 12.1 percent, an offshore direction that could save the day, but there is also a strong SE/ESE/SSE component around 9-10 percent each. These directions are largely onshore or cross-shore for the SSW-facing coastline and build afternoon chop. Water is at its warmest, 23.9°C, the air averages 22.5°C and precipitation is only 1.62mm/day. August is a classic Mediterranean flat-season month; if you find a wave, you have earned it.
