Conditions at Tallows in July
July: The Winter Peak at Tallows
July is statistically the cleanest month of the year. Ideal wind frequency hits its annual maximum of 26%, the average period holds at a powerful 9.6s, and the swell direction is heavily weighted toward SSE/SE, with a meaningful S contribution - SSE 23.5%, SE 16.7%, S 14.8%, ESE 12.2%. The Southern Ocean is firing, with long-period groundswell wrapping into the east-southeast-facing beach on a regular basis. Sizes average around 5ft (1.6m), but the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) and 6-8ft (2-2.5m) categories are well represented in the SSE and S bands.
Wind is overwhelmingly favorable: W/SW/NW/NNW directions dominate the rose, and the onshore E/ESE/SE/SSE sector shrinks to around 16%. Days are colder (air 17.8°C), water drops to the annual minimum of 20.2°C, and rain is at its lowest (1.74mm/day). July offers the most consistent combination of size, period and offshore wind Tallows sees all year.
