Conditions at North Point in July
July: Midwinter Muscle and Raw, Storm-Swell Power
July is the biggest month on average at North Point. Swell heights average around 9ft (2.8m) with a long period of 13.1 seconds, and the bulk of that energy sits in the 1.5-2.5m range, with meaningful oversized pulses over 2.5m from SW, WSW and W directions. This is serious Southern Ocean groundswell - dense, powerful and capable of holding a lot of water. The WSW sector is well represented at nearly 16%, giving the west-facing stretch more favorable angles than earlier in the year.
The catch remains the wind. Ideal conditions are only 17%, while WSW, W and WNW are the leading wind directions, frequently blowing in the 20-40kph range and above. Air temperatures bottom out at 14.6°C, water temperature drops to 17.7°C, and rainfall is high at 3.92 mm/day. July is for surfers watching the synoptic chart like a hawk: the swell is almost always there, but quality comes down to grabbing a brief offshore E/SE gap between storms.
