Conditions at Fitzroy Beach in July

July: Midwinter Power Brokers

July is the heart of the southern winter and the swell engine is running at maximum. Averages stay at 2.1m (7ft) and 11.9s, with the W and WNW directions contributing their highest percentages of the year. This is prime Fitzroy swell direction - angling straight into the beach. The wind score improves slightly to 24 percent, and the E/SE quadrant delivers a decent number of crisp offshore days, especially after cold fronts push through. The beach will regularly see 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) groundswell, with a real chance of chunky 8ft+ (2.5m+) sets when the Southern Ocean really unloads. The main challenge is the cold: air temps average 9°C (48°F) and water drops to 14°C (57°F). It is cold, raw, and potentially epic - midwinter sessions here are earned rather than gifted.
