Conditions at Blaketown Wedge in July

July: Consistent and Epically Clean

July continues the winter onslaught with the highest wind reliability of the year. The average swell remains at 2.0m (6.5-7ft), but the period stretches to 12.3s, giving the Wedge added push and line. The wind rose is a beautiful sight for a northwest-facing beach - ESE blowing 34.6 percent of the time and E another 14.4 percent, meaning the ideal offshore wind percentage stays pinned at 71 percent. It's rare to find a west coast spot with this kind of clean, consistent oceanographic setup. With water temperatures bottoming out at 12.0°C and air temps in the mid-single digits, it's a freezing pump, but the trade-off is some of the most organised, wedging waves of the entire year. Rug up, and you'll be rewarded.
