Conditions at Langland Beach in August
August: Late-Summer Mix
August is still firmly in the low season, but the Atlantic begins to show faint signs of life toward the end of the month. Average swell height is 2-3ft (0.8m) and period is 7.4s, similar to July. WSW and W swells still dominate at around 72%, but there is a slightly stronger SW component (7.3%) and some of the larger swell classes appear in the data, meaning a small percentage of days exceed 5ft (1.5m). Those typically come from low pressure systems or ex-tropical systems intruding into the eastern Atlantic.
Ideal offshore wind arrives only 12% of the time, and the typical SW-WSW summer wind will keep conditions average. Water temperature is the warmest of the year at 18.0°C, with air at 16.3°C. If a tropical remnant tracks far enough east, it can produce an exciting late-summer SSW/SW pulse at Langland; otherwise surf as much as possible in the dawn clean windows.
