Conditions at Cordoama in August
August: Warm Water, Groveling Conditions
August keeps Cordoama in the summer doldrums, though the ocean shows faint signs of life. Average swell is 4-5ft (1.4m), with a period of 8.7s. The directional chart remains fixed on the northwest: NW 47.2%, NNW 41.4%, and WNW 6.9%. Almost identical to July, but the period ticks up slightly and water temp climbs to 18.7C, just shy of the autumn peak. The wind is still the main problem. NNW blows 65.4% of the time, NW adds 12.7%, and offshore flow is only 7%. Rain is negligible at 0.10mm/day, and air temps average 21.8C. Small summer swells can push through on a long-period pulse from a distant Atlantic gale, and those are the days to be in the water early. Otherwise expect small, soft, onshore-influenced waves.
