Conditions at Loutsa in July
July: High Summer, High NNE Dominance
July locks in the summer pattern with force. The average swell creeps up to 1-2ft (0.5m) only because the meltemi pile-up becomes more consistent: NNE direction dominates the wave rose at a huge 39%, with N and NE adding energy. Yet the average period is just 4.1s, and offshore wind frequency bottoms out at 10%, so most of this 'extra' size is disorganized, short-period windswell. The NE/ENE/E/ESE swell window remains present at around 13%, but it is usually buried under the north-northeast wind. Air temps average 27°C (81°F), water warms to 25-26°C (77-79°F), and rain is almost nonexistent. For surfers, July is about managing expectations: take out a soft-top, embrace the chop, and know that the real juice is months away.
