Conditions at Les Culs Nuls in July
July: Summer Flatline
July is the toughest month of the year for wave quality. The average swell is only 3ft (0.9m), the period falls to 9.0s, and ideal offshore winds blow just 18% of the time. NW swell accounts for an enormous 66.5% of the wave directions, but most of it arrives as low-energy, short-period swell in the 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) range. Very few waves exceed the 1.5m (5ft) mark, so this is the definition of a summer grovel. The daily sea breeze and the persistent NNW and NW wind pattern make conditions even more testing. Water temperature reaches 21.8°C and air averages 20.8°C, so the beach is crowded but the surf is not cooperating. Keep an eye on the tropics or a rogue low-pressure slot for a rare clean pulse; otherwise, this is the month for a board with lots of foam.
