Conditions at Witches Rock in July
July: High-Percentage Offshore Breezes
July offers the highest ideal-wind percentage of the entire year at 69%. The pressure gradient weakens and northeast trade winds blow at a more manageable strength, keeping the southwest-facing break clean. The swell is still robust: SSW leads at 27.2%, SW follows at 8.9%, and a strong secondary lobe from SE (13.7%), ESE (11.1%) and S (12.5%) fills in the gaps. That secondary energy is not as perfectly aligned, but it still adds useful consistency. The average period remains solid at 12.5s and the average height holds at 1.3m (4.3ft). Air temperature is 26.5°C, water is a balmy 28.8°C, and the rain totals ease slightly to 4.03mm/day. Expect fun, rippable conditions with plenty of long-period lines, especially when the SE energy mixes in to create a fatter, more lined-up wave.
