Conditions at Meio da Baja in August
August: Late Summer Consistency without the Magic
August is nearly identical to July, and by now the summer pattern is locked in. Average swell sits at 4.9ft (1.5m) and the period nudges up to 9.0 seconds. The swell rose is packed with NNW and NW energy, and the beach sees regular waves, but most are short-period and on the smaller side. Surface conditions will dictate how fun it is.
Ideal wind is only 7% and the NNW wind blows a massive 60% of the time, making onshore-affected conditions more common than quality. Still, it is the warmest water of the year at 18.5°C, with air temps near 19.9°C, so the occasional clean summer swell feels extra good. Low season, but not totally flat.
