Conditions at Byberg in August
August: First Signs of Autumn Energy
August is still summer, but there is a subtle shift in the energy. The average height nudges up to 2-3ft (0.8m) and the period to 6.3s. Favorable swell directions remain prominent - NW 20.5%, WNW 15.3%, W 12.8% - and the frequency of windswell gradually starts to mix with the first true Atlantic pulses rolling down from higher latitudes.
The wind improves slightly: the offshore quadrant reaches 23% of observations, though ideal wind is still low at 7%. NNW winds have dropped slightly from mid-summer to 25.0%, while NW adds 11.6%, so onshore days still rule. Water temperature peaks at 16.8°C, making it the warmest water you will feel all year. By the final week of the month, the surf begins to realize that autumn is coming, and the chances of a clean 3ft (0.9m) WNW swell with ESE winds start to grow.
