July: The Deep Winter Grind
July continues the winter grind with a 1.9m (6ft) average swell at 13.8 seconds, and again the direction is dominated by SSW at 88%, with a little S (5%) and SW (2%) mixed in. The height distribution is similar to June - over 80% in the 1.5-2.5m range - but the quality is dragged down by relentless wind. The S (47%) and SSW (33%) flow is offshore but strong: 20-30kph is the most common speed, and SSW reaches 30-40kph a full 7% of the time. As a result, the ideal-wind score plummets to 23%, the second-lowest of the year. Expect blown-out, bumpy surfaces, heavy south groundswell wrapping unevenly around the point, and few truly clean waves. Water temp drops to 20.1°C, air averages 21.2°C, and rain stays at a negligible 0.04mm/day.
