Conditions at Taghazout in July
July: Small NNW Groundswell and Clean Summer Mornings
July represents the heart of the low surf season. Average wave height remains at 1.6m (5.2ft), but the period drops to 7.8s - the weakest of the year. The swell direction is extraordinarily dominated by the NNW at 93.8%, with only 0.8% from the NW and zero west/northwest. This is essentially a steady feed of short-period northerly windswell, heavily shadowed and downscaled by the coastline before it reaches Taghazout.
However, the wind picture is surprisingly better than June: ideal conditions clock in at 51%. The summer thermal regime brings a solid NNE component (6.2%), NE (3.0%), ENE (2.0%) and E (1.5%), while the N/NNW winds are often lighter in the morning. Onshore SW/W winds remain minimal, with a total of around 6%. That means a clean, glassy dawn patrol window almost every day, even if the waves are only small to mid-size.
Air temperatures average 23.1°C (max 36.7°C), rain is essentially zero (0.04mm/day), and water sits at 17.8°C. Leave the boots at home, wax the longboard, and enjoy small summer pleasure.
