Conditions at Berria in August
August: Summer Lull Persists
August is nearly a carbon copy of July. Average swell is 3.3ft (1.0m), period 9.3s, and ideal wind 25% - a slight tick up, but still summer-lull territory. NW remains the dominant swell direction at 59.4%, followed by NNW 25.5% and WNW 7.5%. Size is again the limiting factor: 29.3% of NW swell is 2-3ft (0.5-1m), 20.2% is 3-5ft (1-1.5m), and only 6.7% reaches 5-6ft (1.5-2m). Onshore and cross-shore winds still dominate - WNW 14.3%, E 9.9%, NW 10.2%, NNW 9.1%, ENE 11.5% - while S/SSW/SW offshore flow is scarce. Water temp peaks for the year at 22.2°C, air temp averages 20.8°C, and rain is just 1.23 mm/day. If you're in the water, it'll likely be on a soft-top in tiny, lumpy conditions; mark September as the real comeback month.
