Conditions at Whale Beach in July
July: Peak Winter, Peak Cleanliness
July is the cleanest month of the year at Whale Beach. Ideal offshore wind reaches 62%, with NW 14.3%, WNW 12.9%, W 11.0%, WSW 11.1% and NNW 10.5% making up a massive part of the wind rose. Swell is still averaging 1.4m (4.6ft) with a 9.5s period, and the directional mix is similar to June: SSE 20.2%, S 15.3%, SE 14.5%, ESE 9.9%, ENE 5.3%, SSW 6.3% and SW 3.2%. The south-heavy nature is not perfect in theory, but in practice the offshore northwest wind cleans up the south swell beautifully, producing some of the most organized, hollow waves of the year. The 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range is the bread and butter, with plenty of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) sets on the better banks. Water temp hits its annual minimum at 18.1°C, air temp averages 11.8°C and rainfall is just 1.6mm/day. Get out early, pick a bank, and enjoy the best consistency of the whole season.
