Conditions at Tafedna in August
August: Clean but Small
August offers a slight increase in consistency but not quality. Average swell height is 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) with an 8.0s average period. The direction distribution is even more locked into the NNW than July-92.6%-so the waves are mostly short-period NNW windswell on the WSW-facing beach. The good news is that ideal wind conditions reach 52%, with NNE (29.9%) and NNW (34.3%) providing frequent offshore/cross-offshore texture. Air temp peaks at 24.3°C, water sits at 18.2°C, and rain is negligible. Expect a fun, clean-but-mushy ocean with occasional punchy shoulder-high sets; just keep expectations in check until the autumn storms return.
