Conditions at Costa Navarino in August
August: The Dead of Summer
August follows July's template: an average swell height of 1.5ft (0.5m), a period of just 4.4s, and ideal offshore wind 7% of the time. The swell rose is still locked into the NW/WNW corridor - NW 42.7%, WNW 37.6% - while the W and WSW directions that this beach needs make up only 12.7% and 3.3% respectively. Almost all of it is below chest height, so any wave that arrives has to be chased on a high-volume board.
The meltemi winds continue to blow with conviction out of the NNW and NW, stirring up short-period chop and keeping the ocean lumpy. The slight positive is that water temperatures hit 26.1°C, the warmest of the year, and air temperatures average a sweltering 27.1°C with only 0.34 mm/day of rain. But from a surfing perspective, August is almost certainly a flat month.
