July: Mid-Winter Consistency and Southerly Punch
July keeps the winter momentum rolling. Average height remains 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m), period 9.4s, and ideal winds 51%. The swell mix shifts slightly, with ENE (16.7%), E (14.1%), ESE (11.0%), SE (11.4%), SSE (13.5%) and S (15.8%) all contributing; SSW (6.4%) and SW (1.1%) show the continued presence of southern hemisphere frontal systems. This is a directional smorgasbord, but the beach sorts it out well. The upper end of the wave spectrum is well represented - S and SSE both push sizeable 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) chunks - so there are plenty of powerful, pitching waves for experienced surfers. Wind-wise, offshore W (3.5%), WNW (3.9%), NW (5.6%) and NNW (11.3%) are frequent enough to keep surfaces clean between cold fronts. Water is now a chilly 16.2°C, air 13.6°C, and precipitation 4.68 mm/day. Bring the hood and the good boards.
