Conditions at Lagkouvardos in August
August: Still Under the Meltemi
August looks statistically very similar to July. Average wave height is around 1.5ft (0.5m), average period is 4.4s, and ideal offshore wind remains at 2%. NW (42.7%) and WNW (37.6%) once again dominate the wave rose, while NW and NNW winds stay locked in at 31.1% and 30.1% respectively. The good news is that the swell direction is still favourable - the bad news is there is barely any size and the wind quality is poor. Water temperature peaks at 26.1°C and air temperature at 27.1°C, producing warm, glassy-looking summer conditions. But waist-high-plus surf is statistically rare. If an early E/ESE offshore land breeze lines up a small west swell, it can be a fun novelty session, but August is mostly about swimming, not surfing.
