Expect heat that needs a little planning
The average high does not tell the whole story: 66% of August days reach 30°C, while the hottest 10% reach 38.6°C or more. That makes shade and somewhere cool to retreat practical priorities, not just extras. Keep more active plans for the morning and leave room for a slower pace around midday. Loose, light clothing, sun protection and regular drinks are sensible choices. Nights average 21.4°C, so do not assume the heat will disappear after sunset; check that your accommodation has cooling you are comfortable with. August suits travellers who enjoy heat, but it is a less comfortable choice if hot afternoons or warm sleeping conditions bother you.
Dry days, plenty of sunshine, but a bracing sea
Rain is unlikely to dictate your plans, with about 0 rainy days in a typical August. Sunshine averages 9.9 hours within 13.1 hours of daylight, leaving plenty of scope to spend time outside without concentrating everything around midday.

It may feel refreshing after sitting in the heat, but travellers who get cold easily may prefer shorter swims. Pack mainly for hot weather, with a light layer available for cooler evenings.
