Conditions at Anton Lizardo in August
August: Flat, Fickle and Hot
August mirrors July with a low average height of only 0.6m and the shortest periods of the year at 5.2s. ENE swell still controls 62.9% of the wave rose, but NE rebounds slightly to 25.8%, giving a touch more side-angle energy. The optimal N/NNE/NE/NNW windows remain limited at around 34%, so the beach continues to suffer from a lack of true north swell. Ideal offshore wind drops to the season low of 14%, while NE/ENE winds and occasional light onshores make the water messy. September-like tropical storms are on the horizon, but August is generally too quiet for serious surfing. Water temp peaks near 29.2°C, average air temp is 26.8°C, and rainfall persists at 9.76 mm/day. The best sessions are rare, early and small - bring the foamie.
