Averages for Salou in August

August remains swelteringly hot in Salou and is the height of the summer season. Expect intense heat and large crowds when you visit at this time of year!

Daytime temperatures can hit a very warm 28°C (82°F) and only fall to around 20°C (68°F) in the evenings. With 9 hours of sunshine each day, you can expect to spend long, lazy days on the beach working on your tan and pleasant evenings enjoying cocktails in the warm evening breeze.

Take care to wear sunscreen with a high SPF and drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to avoid sunburn and sunstroke.

Salou is very popular with younger holiday makers at this time of year due to its lively nightlife. Head to Carles Buigas Avenue when the sun goes down for the best range of pubs, bars and nightclubs that play a variety of music into the early hours of the morning.

Salou is especially popular with families, and the extensive Portaventura theme park is a particularly popular attraction. There are several internationally themed areas, water rides and several high octane roller coasters.

The centrally located Dorada Palace, which has both self catering apartments and hotel suites, and the beachfront Hotel Casablanca Playa, with its restaurant and outdoor pool, are both great options when you’re looking for accommodation and will suit any budget.
