Conditions at Ristorante in July
July: The Flat Heat of Summer - Micro Swell
July is statistically the least exciting month for waves. The average swell is 0.5m (1.5ft) and the period is 4.0s. WSW (21.0%) and SW (14.3%) still lead the swell rankings, but the energy is predominantly in the 0-0.5m range, which means too small to even surf properly. Ideal wind windows drop to a yearly low of 9%, with north-east and north-northeast winds limited. Instead, the prevailing synoptic pattern is hot and lazy - westerly and south-westerly breezes dominate, kicking up onshore chop that ruins any chance of a clean wave. Water temp soars to 24.2°C (76°F) and air averages 24.5°C (76°F). The only bright spot: if an odd pulse of S/SSW swell coincides with an early-morning N/NE land breeze, you might find 0.5-1m (2-3ft) waves on the sets. Honestly, July is beach and boat weather, not surf weather.
