Conditions at Vouliagmeni in August
August: Warmest Water, Weakest Waves
August is the warmest-water month of the year at 26.6°C, but it offers very little surf. Average swell height is 0.5m (1.6ft), average period is 4.3s, and ideal wind is 20%. NNE dominates the wave record with 40.4%, while the favourable S/SSW/SE/SSE sector is reduced to about 13% of observations, all of it in the micro category. The offshore N/NNW quadrant is strong, especially NNW at 34.9%, and winds frequently blow 20-30kph. That makes the bay look glassy and inviting, yet the lack of any meaningful south swell leaves it completely flat. August is beautiful, and it is not for surfing.
