Conditions at Burleigh Heads in July
July: Maximum Offshore Wind, Minimal Friction
July is the statistical peak for clean conditions. The ideal wind percentage hits 43%, the highest of any month, thanks to a strong subtropical ridge and frequent high pressure systems moving under the continent. The average swell height drops to 0.9m (3ft) and the average period ties the annual high at 8.9s. The swell mix tilts more southerly: SE (23.2%), ESE (20.8%), E (17.2%), SSE (14.0%) and ENE (9.0%).
These SE and SSE swells are not the absolute optimal swell direction for a NE-facing point, but the clean offshore winds make them far more rideable than their raw size suggests. S (16.1%), SSW (8.1%), SW (4.6%), WSW (6.0%), W (9.1%) and WNW (9.1%) provide plenty of groomed surface. Air temperature bottoms out at 18.5 C (65 F), water at 20.3 C (68 F), and rainfall is only 1.63 mm/day. This is longboard and small-wave high-performance season, with glassy walls in the beach breaks and on the point.
