Conditions at Lincoln City in August
August: Late Summer Glimmers
August remains deep in the low season, but there is a subtle shift. The average swell is 4.3ft (1.3m) with a 10.0s period, and the waverose becomes even more WNW (42%) and NW (28%) dominated, meaning a lot of small, short-interval northwest windswell and background groundswell. Ideal wind improves slightly to 14%, and, importantly, the NNW monster relaxes a bit to 47% - still dominant, but more amenable dawn-patrol windows appear. As early fall swells begin to show up late in the month, Lincoln City can offer fun, chest-to-shoulder-high 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) peaks on the better sandbars when winds are light. Water temp stays cold at 11.4°C, air is the warmest of the year at 15.4°C, and rain is minimal at 0.61mm/day.
