Conditions at Conil de la Frontera in August
August: Summer Doldrums and Micro Swell
August is nearly as flat as July. Average swell height stays at 0.8m (2.5ft) with a 7.2s period. WNW windswell dominates at 60.0%, and a remarkable 49.5% of all swell falls in the 0.5-1m range, so the ocean is more bump than surf. E swell contributes 15.2% and W swell only 6.0%, meaning the dominant energy is usually weak and locally wind-driven. Ideal wind is 17% of the time. The mornings can still be glassy under E/NE offshore flow, but the afternoon sea breeze from the W/WSW often adds texture. Water temp peaks at 20.6°C, air averages 25.0°C, and precipitation is negligible. Surfing is for the dedicated or the beginner; advanced surfers are better off waiting for September.
