Conditions at La Santa Isquierda in August
August: Summer Doldrums and Windswell
August mirrors July with a slightly lower average height of 1.3m (4ft) and a 7.7s period. NNE swell is dominant at 58.6%, with N at 29% and NNW at 12%, but again this is mostly short-period windswell generated by the very same NE trades that wreck the surface. Wind is nearly always from NNE (64.6%) and N (18.6%), and ideal offshore flow remains at 0%. The result is a small, bumpy, side-onshore mess at La Santa. Water temperature peaks at 21.8°C, air at 22.6°C, and rain is negligible. If you are in the area, late evenings may occasionally smooth out if the sea breeze fades, but overall August ranks among the worst months for quality surf at this spot.
