Conditions at Unstad in July
July: The Smallest Month
July is the smallest month of the year at Unstad. The average swell height is just 0.8m (2.5ft) and the period is 6.9s. The swell directions still show a fair amount of NNW, W and NW energy, but the 0-0.5m and 0.5-1m classes dominate the entire rose. There is very little real push for a west-facing beach.
Ideal wind is only 8%, and NNE winds remain strong at 18.7%. Water temperature reaches 11.5°C, air temperatures average 11.7°C, and precipitation is 2.20 mm/day. Summer is beautiful in the Lofoten Islands, but the surf is for the heart, not the ego. Smallest days are best spent exploring the mountains or diving into cold-water cold therapy before the North Atlantic wakes up again.
