July: Smallest Waves Of The Year
July is typically the smallest month of the year at Cox Bay, with the average swell height bottoming out at 4ft (1.2m) and the period around 11.4s. W is the dominant swell direction at 39.8%, followed by WSW at 30.6%, SW at 13.3% and WNW at 11.8%. The vast majority of the energy is in the 0.5-1.5m range, which translates to small, fun-sized summer surf at best. Winds are heavily influenced by the North Pacific High: WNW (41.8%) and W (17.0%) dominate, creating mostly onshore/cross-onshore conditions and leaving ideal wind at just 14% - the lowest of the entire year. Add the typical afternoon seabreeze and you get chopped-up, lumpy summer waves. Water temperature peaks around 14.0°C (57°F), air temps average 14.6°C (58°F), and precipitation is a very dry 1.6mm/day. This is the time for longboards, summer wetsuits and low expectations.
