July: Deep Winter Power
July is the heart of winter, and Stent Road feels the full force of the Southern Ocean. The average swell stays at 2.1m (6.9ft) with a solid 11.9-second period. WSW swells dominate at 30.7%, but the spread across W and WNW is significant - 11.0% and 7.0%, respectively - creating a more westerly swell angle that works exceptionally well at this spot. Interestingly, ideal wind conditions rebound to 22%, tied with February and April for the best of the year. The southeast offshore flow is strong at 12.5%, giving you clean, groomed faces even in the depths of winter. Water temp plunges to 14.5°C and air averages 12.0°C, so a full 4/3 is essential. Precipitation is high at 4.41 mm/day, but winter lows often deliver the most consistent swell-plus-offshore-wind windows. This is a month for experienced surfers who don't mind the cold.
