Conditions at Meron in August
August: Late Summer Marginality
August remains in the summer cellar, though a slight pulse of energy tries to sneak back in. Average swell height holds at 3ft (0.9m) with a 9.0s period, and the swell direction remains stubbornly good: NW 45.9%, NNW 34.4%. But height distribution is still dominated by small 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) surf. The northern Atlantic is quiet, and Meron feels it.
Winds are only ideal 17% of the time. ENE leads the pack at 18.8%, NE contributes 12.5%, and N/NNW onshore wind sits near 15%. The saving grace is warmer water at 20.4°C, the warmest of the year, and air temperatures averaging 20.1°C. The occasional early-morning window with a light offshore breeze can turn a small NW swell into glassy, playful waves - just keep expectations in the 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) zone.
