Conditions at Hornbaek in July
July: Peak Summer, Peak Frustration
July is Hornbaek's most summer-frustrating month. Average height is 1ft (0.4m), period 3.6s, and despite a slight rise in ideal wind to 4%, those offshore windows are usually accompanied by flatness. The swell rose is dominated by WNW 17.8%, W 16.4%, WSW 12.5%, NW 8.4%, all fed by strong westerly winds (W 15.7%, WNW 14.4%, WSW 10.6%). This combination produces messy, wind-driven leftover waves that lack period and direction. Water temperature peaks near 18.0°C, but the warm water makes the lack of waves even harder to swallow. Your best chance is an early-morning session with a light S/SSE wind before the thermal breeze kicks up; otherwise, July is a swim-and-sunbathe month at Hornbaek.
