Conditions at Tafedna in July
July: Short-Period North Swell
July is the most extreme example of Tafedna's summer doldrums. The average swell height is around 6ft (1.8m), but the average period bottoms out at 7.6s. A staggering 90.7% of all wave energy comes from the NNW, leaving almost no window for the preferred W/SW swell. The wind is strong out of the north, with NNE (30.1%), NNW (35.3%) and N (22.2%) accounting for most observations; ideal wind improves slightly to 46%, but only because much of that north flow is still offshore or cross-offshore. With water at 18.1°C and air at 24.0°C, it feels tropical and dry (0.03mm/day). Small-wave riders can find fun corners, but serious surfers are better off waiting for autumn.
