Conditions at Gnaraloo in July
July: Midwinter Muscle
July sits right in the heart of Gnaraloo's winter. Average swell height peaks around 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m), average period reaches 14.1s, and the SW direction alone accounts for 62.4% of all wave energy. The 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) and 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) size classes are well represented, and the extra period gives the misaligned S/SW swell a better chance to wrap and break cleanly. Ideal wind stays at a solid 31%, with SE/SSE winds providing the cleanest conditions. It is not the N/NW swell Gnaraloo would love, but the combination of size, period and winter high-pressure drive makes July one of the most consistently surfable months. Air temps are coolest at 18.1°C, water is 23.1°C, and rainfall is moderate at 1.12 mm/day.
