Conditions at Lido Garda in August
August: Warm Water, Fading Swell
August mirrors July - high summer, minimal swell, and short-period lake chop. The average wave is 1.5-2ft (0.5m) at 4.3s, with ideal wind only 6%. W and WNW together dominate the wave rose with 55.2%, but the energy is overwhelmingly under 3ft (1m). Onshore W and WSW winds blow 22% of the time, while the favourable NE/E offshore sector struggles to reach 8.5%.
Water temperature peaks at 25.1°C - the warmest of the year - while air averages 25.8°C and rainfall is only 0.88 mm/day. Only a summer storm over the Po Valley can deliver a brief, punchy ripple; otherwise August is for swimming.
