Conditions at Afife in August
August: Small but Consistent NW Swell
August is a near twin of July. Average swell height remains at 4.6ft (1.4m), period ticks up slightly to 9.0s, and the swell window is dominated by NW (39.6 per cent) and NNW (32.4 per cent) directions. The surf is small but surprisingly consistent, and the west-facing beach at Afife still picks up plenty of background NW energy. Ideal wind improves marginally to 27 per cent, with more light-morning offshore potential from ENE and E, but the afternoon nortada still tends to mess things up. Water temperature holds at 16.8°C, air averages 20.7°C, and precipitation is just 1.12mm/day. It is a classic summer surf month: small, clean and playful in the early hours, turning bumpy when the seabreeze kicks in.
