August: A Glimmer of Autumn
August remains small, but the surf climate begins to show faint signs of life. Average swell height is still 0.8m (2.5ft) with an 8.0s average period, but the frequency of clean offshore mornings improves, with ideal wind at 30 percent. ESE flow accounts for 10.5 percent, SE for 8.9 percent and E for 5.9 percent, while the onshore W/NW/NNW components begin to back off. The swell direction mix is still WSW-heavy at 30.1 percent, followed by W at 18.5 percent and NNW at 11.6 percent; most waves remain in the 0.5-1m range, but there are occasional 1-1.5m pulses. With sea surface temperature peaking at 12.9C - the warmest of the year - and air temperatures averaging 12.7C, August is the most comfortable month for sessions in cold Norway. Conditions are grovelly, but if you pick the right easterly-wind day, the beach can offer fun, rippable waves. It is a transition month and a last chance to enjoy mild weather before the Atlantic wakes up.
