Conditions at Sidi Moussa d'Aglou in August
August: Late Summer Slumber
August is a carbon copy of July in many ways, with the lowest average swell height of the year at 4.5ft (1.4m) and a short period of 8.4s. The NNW quadrant dominates even harder, supplying 95 percent of all energy, leaving almost no room for W/WNW swell. Most waves are in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with occasional bigger pulses, but the overall energy is far below winter standards.
The trade wind pattern remains locked in. NW winds are the most frequent single direction at 29 percent, and the combined W/WNW/NW/NNW onshore sector sits near 70 percent. Offshore flow is barely present, and ideal conditions hover at just 13 percent. Water temperature reaches 18.4°C, air temp averages 22.9°C, and precipitation is minimal. It is the least inspiring month on the calendar for quality surf at Sidi Moussa d'Aglou.
