Conditions at Stoney Beach in July

July: Peak Offshore Reliability

July is statistically the best month for clean wind at Stoney Beach, with ideal wind frequency at 36%. Average height is 1.3m and period is 10.5s. The wind rose shows S, SSW, SW and WSW combining for nearly a third of observations, so true offshore flow is a regular visitor. Swell is still mostly E (17.5%), ENE (14.5%), ESE (14.5%), and S (14%), meaning there is plenty of size but an ever-present cross/refraction component. When a low-pressure system lingers to the south-east, it feeds long-period S/SE groundswell while Stoney sits in a clean SW wind shadow. Sea temp is a chilly 9.3°C, air averages 8.7°C, precipitation 1.96mm/day. Bring the full winter rubber-if you are happy to hunt around, there are glassy, powerful waves to be found.
