Conditions at Lido di Ostia in August
August: Hazy Autumn Sun, Still Flat
August mirrors July in the surf department - average height 1.5ft (0.5m), period 4.3s, ideal winds 8%. It's the lowest wave period of the year. The western quadrant still produces a massive 65% of swell directions, but again it's the ocean's response to thermal winds rather than any real groundswell. Onshore winds (SW, WSW, W, WNW) total 41%, making any westerly wave windblown and messy. Offshore easterlies are up slightly to 11%, but the window is tiny. The sea reaches its warmest temperature of the year at 25.2°C, and air temps average 26.1°C - the beach is in full summer mode. If you find a sandbar with some shape in the early morning before the sea breeze kicks in, it might be rideable on a longboard, but expectations should be low.
