Conditions at Afife in July
July: Dog Days of Summer
July is the smallest month of the year statistically, with an average swell height of 4.6ft (1.4m) and an average period of 8.7s. The swell direction is overwhelmingly NW and NNW, with WNW as a supporting act and virtually no swell from the south or southwest. This produces persistent, small-to-medium windswell with occasional clean 3-5ft (1-1.5m) walls. The tricky part is the wind: ideal surfing conditions only 24 per cent of the time, and NNW/N winds dominate the daily cycle. Early mornings are often glassy before the thermal wind ramps up, and those light offshore E/SE windows are rare but worth chasing. Air temperatures average 20.5°C, water is 16.8°C, and precipitation is minimal at 0.76mm/day. This is fun, grovelling surf on a longboard or fish.
