Conditions at Ligia in July
July: High Summer, Low Energy
July is the heart of the Mediterranean deep summer, and Ligia pays the price in surf quality. The average height remains at 0.4m (1-1.5ft / 0.3-0.5m), the period at 4.2s and ideal wind only 8%. The swell distribution is extreme: WNW dominates at 48.3%, with NW at 18.1%, W at 14.8% and WSW at 11.9%. However, nearly all of that is in the 0-0.5m category, so the swell rose is mostly a map of surface chop rather than surfable groundswell. The wind regime is increasingly NW/W in the form of summer Etesian influences, with WNW 16.4%, W 13.2% and NW 11.4% - all onshore or cross-onshore for this WSW-facing beach. Offshore NNE/NE winds are still present but mostly light. With sea surface temp at 23.0°C and air at 25.9°C, the only thing firing is the air-conditioning. It is a certified flat season.
