Conditions at La Graviere in July
July: Peak Summer Flatness with Tiny NW Pulses
July is usually the slowest month of the year at La Graviere. The average swell height is 3ft (0.9m), the period is 9.0 seconds, and the swell direction is overwhelmingly NW (66.5%) with a much smaller WNW (27.3%). The energy is small and short-period, with 58% of all swells in the 0.5-1m range and almost no significant size. Flat spells are common, but occasionally a small NW groundswell from a far Atlantic low can still wrap into the bay and produce playful, hollow beachbreak peaks on the better sandbars.
Wind is the bigger limiting factor. Ideal offshore winds hold only 18% of the time, while NW, WNW, NNW and W winds pile up to more than 50% of the wind rose. Summer afternoons are dominated by a strong northwest sea breeze. The best chance for surf is early morning before the breeze fills in, preferably with an E or ESE land breeze and an incoming tide. Precipitation is at its yearly minimum of 1.77 mm/day. With water temperature at 21.8°C and air at 20.8°C, summer conditions are comfortable but rarely firing.
