Conditions at Lagido in August
August: Summer Still Has a Grip
August is very similar to July. The average swell remains at 4.9ft (1.5m) with a period of 9.0s. Swell direction is dominated by NNW (48.3 percent) and NW (34.0 percent), and the distribution is concentrated in the 3-6ft (1-2m) range. It is small, but not completely flat; enough to get out on a funboard when the wind cooperates.
The wind cooperates only 12 percent of the time. NNW winds account for 60.5 percent of observations, keeping most waves onshore and bumpy. S and SW winds together make up only around 5 percent, so the offshore windows are scarce. Water temp peaks at 18.5C, air averages 19.9C, and rainfall is minimal at 0.34 mm/day. Early mornings offer the only realistic chance of clean summer surf at Lagido.
