Conditions at Bogan River in July

July: Deep Winter Power

July is the heart of winter, and Bogan River is all about raw power. The average swell remains a solid 1.9m (6ft), with a 12.8s period and a heavy distribution in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range. The south-west still leads, but west and west-south-west swells are equally important-the spot is now catching every single pulse generated by Southern Ocean storms.

However, this is not an easy month to surf cleanly. The NE-ESE offshore wind frequency is 22%, while onshore SW-WNW winds make up 37% of the recorded wind. It is also the wettest and coldest time of year: 4.20mm/day of rain, air temps around 12.8°C, and water at 13.9°C. The saving grace is that when the wind does swing offshore, the swell is often well over 6ft (1.8m) and moving with serious intent.
