Conditions at Newport in July
July: Midwinter Peak of Clean Consistency
July is statistically the most consistent month of the year for favourable winds at Newport. Ideal surfing conditions reach 43%, and the W/NW offshore quadrant is massive-WSW (12%), W (11%), WNW (11%) and NW (12%) together approach half of all wind observations. Average swell height is 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) and the average period is 9.5s, delivering real groundswell. The directions lean southern: SSE 20%, S 15%, SE 15% and SSW 6%, so the east-southeast exposed beach is shadowed for some pure-easterly swells but still catches plenty of energy. Water bottoms out around 18.1°C and air temps are the coldest of the year at 11.8°C. If you want reliable, clean, lined-up winter surf, this is the month to book the trip.
