Conditions at Hvide Sande in July
July: Small, Windy and Marginal
July is the most marginal month of the year for surf at Hvide Sande. The average swell height is 1.1m (3.5ft), the average period bottoms out at 5.8s, and ideal wind occurs only 6% of the time. Swell directionally looks active - SW/WSW/W/WNW total about 46% of observations - but nearly all of that energy is in the small, short-period categories. The NW sector again supplies a large background swell, at 25.1%, but it is rarely powerful enough to overcome the prevailing onshore wind. Wind is the big problem: WSW, W, WNW and NW combine for about 43% of all wind observations, with WNW at 14.5% and NW at 15.2%; much of this blows 20-40kph straight into the beach, creating messy, lumpy conditions. Offshore E/ESE flow sits at only 13.2%. Water temp is pleasant at 17.7°C and air averages 16.6°C, so it is a nice beach day, but a board with volume and a low expectation are the tools of choice. Dawn patrol, small waves, and a summer-state mind.
