Conditions at Byberg in July
July: Lowest Energy of the Year
July bottoms out. The average height dips to 2ft (0.7m) and the period to 6.0s, the lowest of the entire year. Favorable swell directions remain common in name, with NW at 25.4%, WNW at 17.3% and W at 13.7%, but the energy is short-period and mostly unrideable. It is fair to call it a micro-surf month - fun if you are learning, frustrating if you are chasing power.
Winds do little to help. Ideal wind is only 7%, the offshore quadrant is about 19% of observations, and NNW (27.2%) plus NW (15.9%) dominate, creating a classic onshore summer wind pattern. Water temperature reaches a pleasant 15.4°C, but the ocean surface is usually chopped and messy. The best hope for a July surf is a distant low in the Norwegian Sea generating a clean, longer-period W pulse while a late-evening or morning E wind keeps it glassy. Those days are rare, so lower the expectations accordingly.
