Conditions at Vorupör in July
July: Mid-Summer Micro-Swell and Warm Water
July stays locked in the summer pattern. The average swell height is still only 4ft (1.2m) and the average period dips to 5.8s - the shortest average period of the entire year. WNW swell (25.1%) and NW swell (13.1%) continue to dominate the direction statistics, but these are predominantly short-period windswell, with the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range making up the bulk. There are occasional 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) pulses from WNW/NW when a summer low squeaks across the North Sea, but they rarely string together into long-period power. Wind consistency is the nemesis: W winds (15.9%) and WNW winds (20.8%) blow straight down the coast or onshore, while the thermal sea breeze often strengthens through the afternoon. Offshore SE/SSE/S flow totals roughly 12%, enough for the occasional small clean window, and the ideal surf score sits at 12%. The upside is comfort: water temperature averages 60.8°F (17.0°C), the warmest of the season, and air temperatures reach 15.9°C with highs near 23.5°C. If you want to log foam-board rides on long summer evenings, this is your month; if you want hollow waves, set your alarm for early morning.
