Conditions at Marinella in July
July: Flat and Glassy Longboard Territory
July is the heart of the seasonal minimum. Average swell height remains 3ft (0.9m), the period bottoms out near 9.0s, and NW swell tightens its grip on the wave chart at 66.5%, with WNW at 27.3%. Nearly all of this is short-period, gutless energy, with waves in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) range. You will find plenty of summer fizz, but none of the winter push that makes Marinella a proper beach break.
The wind picture is the real stopper: onshore winds from the W-NNW quadrant account for over 67% of conditions, and favourable E/ESE/SE/SSE flow sits at just 15%. That makes the odd early windless morning or light offshore one the only realistic surf windows. On the plus side, the water hits 21.7°C and air averages 20.8°C, so board shorts or a light spring suit are all you need between long sets.
