Conditions at Hash Point in August
August: The Deepest of the Summer Doldrums
August is the peak of the European vacation season and the absolute low point of the surf season at Hash Point. Average height remains 5ft (1.6m), average period is only 8.2s, and the wave rose is again 93.8% NNW with a sliver of NW. The swell is both small and poorly aligned - a bad tradeoff for this west-south-west-facing nook. Wind stats look better than June: ideal wind occurs 48% of the time, with N/NNE breezes (7.6% and 7.0%) and a strong but light NNW flow (37.5%) dominating the compass. Yet clean surface conditions mean little without power in the sea. Air temps peak at 23.4°C (18.2-35.6°C), water climbs to 18.1°C, and precipitation is 0.14mm/day. If you are in Morocco in August, check the shadowy western corners at low tide and manage expectations.
