Conditions at Verdicio in August
August: Consistent but Small
August is very similar to July, with the first subtle hints of autumn. The average swell is 0.9m (3ft), the average period is 9.0s, and the swell direction remains excellent for exposure: NW at 46.0%, NNW at 33.9% and WNW at 5.6%. The majority of waves are in the 0.5-1m (1.5-3ft) class, but the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class from NW is a solid 13.2%, so the occasional fun-size day sneaks in.
Ideal offshore wind is present 23% of the time. E and ENE winds are the most frequent, and the W/WNW winds are common enough to keep the surface active. Air temperatures reach 20.1°C, precipitation is still low at 1.42 mm/day, and the water is at its warmest and most comfortable, 20.5°C. It is a great month for a summer log or a small-wave twin fin.
