Conditions at Sidi Bouzid in August
August: Summer Trade-Wind Chop
August is a mirror of July but with the first faint signs of life. Average swell is 4ft (1.2m) and period 8.9s, still windswell territory. NNW delivers 81.4% of the energy, while NW picks up to 18.1%. The extra NW component at least opens the door for a touch more size, but surf over 6ft (1.8m) is essentially absent.
Winds are ideal 10% of the time; NNE still dominates at 43.8%, keeping surfaces bumpy and waves generally poor. Water temp peaks at 22.3°C and air temps hit 23.7°C, so it feels tropical, but the ocean refuses to deliver anything resembling winter power.
