Conditions at Consolacao in August
August: Peak Summer with Consistent, Mushy NW Lines
August remains locked in the summer pattern, with average swell size stuck at 4.9ft (1.5m) and period at 9.0 seconds. The swell is extremely directionally biased toward the NNW (48.3 percent) and NW (34.0 percent), which means the energy is always present but rarely powerful. The lack of period is the main issue - these are short-period swells that break fat and won't hold up on steep sandbars. Wind-wise, the ideal offshore window is a scant 6 percent, and the cold sea breeze / nortada combination continues to dominate, with NNW wind blowing 60.5 percent of the time. The water is the warmest of the year at 18.5°C, and air temps max out at 19.9°C average, with very little rainfall. Surfing is still possible for those with low expectations, particularly at lower tides when the NW windswell manages to wrap into the beach a little more cleanly. But for most surfers, August is a rest month.
