Conditions at Urbiztondo Beach in August
August: High Ideal Wind, Low Quality
August is a statistical oddity. Average swell holds at 2ft (0.6m), period ticks up to 7.2s, and the share of ideal wind reaches a yearly maximum of 31 percent - the cleanest surface windows on paper. But the swell direction stays locked into the WSW sector at 62.1 percent, with W and SW adding another 26.6 percent. Urbiztondo faces NW, so this WSW energy is misaligned and tends to produce lumpy, inconsistent lines. S and SSW winds dominate at 30.9 and 25.3 percent, even during many of the ideal wind windows. With 21.19mm/day of rain and water at 29.8°C, this is a tropical, squally month; the occasional offshore SSW window can make the beach fun, but expect plenty of groveling.
