Conditions at Monte Clerigo in August
August: Same Summer Story
August remains locked in the summer lull. Average height is 4-5ft (1.4m) with period 8.9s, and the swell rose is almost entirely NW (59.0%) and NNW (29.7%). This directional consistency is a tease because the energy is primarily local windswell, not ground swell. The thermal northerly wind is relentless, with NNW at 54.4% and NW at 16.2%, reducing ideal offshore wind to 9%. Air temperature is the warmest of the year at 23.1°C, water temperature peaks at 17.9°C, and precipitation is just 0.11mm/day. When an unusual SSW/W offshore flow coincides with a small NW swell, the beach offers clean, playful waves, but consistency is scarce.
