Conditions at Caloundra in July
July: Peak Winter Clean Lines
July is Caloundra's most reliable month for quality surf. The wind is ideal 29% of the time, underpinned by a strong westerly-quarter influence, including SW (12.2%), WSW (10.4%), and a healthy 20% combined share of true offshore W/WNW/NW/NNW flow. Swell comes in a nice mix of SE (18.4%), ESE (17.8%), SSE (15.7%) and E (14.0%), with most waves in the 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) range and a handful of bigger 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) pulses. The average period of 8.3s means the energy is punchy and surfable rather than over-sized. Water temperatures bottom out near 19.8°C and rainfall is minimal at 1.62mm/day, so dry, crisp winter mornings and clean offshore sessions become the norm. This is the month to plan around.
