Conditions at Levanto in August
August: Warm Water, Flat Lines
August is every bit as quiet as July, with average wave heights stuck at 1.5ft (0.4m) and the average period at its annual low of 4.6s. The favourable wave-direction totals remain high - SW 35.6%, WSW 19.3%, SSW 8.7% and W 5.7% - but the energy is small, short and heavily dominated by the 0-0.5m class. Ideal surf wind ticks up only slightly to 12%. The wind rose is split more evenly among the northeasterly, southeasterly and southwesterly quadrants; NNE (10.1%) and NE (9.8%) do provide some morning offshore relief, yet light speeds often fail to groom what little swell exists. Air temperature peaks at 24.1°C, water reaches its warmest of the year at 23.9°C, and rain is scarce at 1.42mm/day. It is a lovely beach month, but a frustrating one for anyone hoping to duck under a proper set.
