Conditions at Oscar Point in July
July: Heavy Swell, Heavy Wind
July continues the cold, windy winter pattern. Average swell stays at 6-7ft (1.9m), while the average period eases just slightly to 12.8s. The S component becomes even more important, reaching 17.6% of all swell, while SSW supplies 70.1%. For an SSW-facing point, both S and SSW swells are good-they wrap in and produce heavy, powerful surf. The catch is the wind: over 90% of it comes from the onshore S-SSW-SW-WSW quadrant, and the offshore N-NNE-NE-ENE sector registers 0%. Air temperature falls to 16.9°C and water to 15.9°C. Most July days at Oscar Point are raw, bumpy and wintery. Only a strong synoptic pattern that drags in a true northerly land breeze will clean it up-a rare gem in an otherwise difficult month.
