July: Glassy Mornings and Minimal Swell
July is the most wind-friendly month of the year, but it is also the smallest. Average swell heights bottom out near 2.5-3ft (0.8m), periods hang around 8.5s, and the S/SSW/SW window shrinks to about 9% of the wave rose - the lowest of the year. Most of those southerly readings are in the 1.5-3ft (0.5-1m) class, so there is not much punch behind them. The dominant swell directions are clearly W, WNW, NW and NNW, which are all poorly oriented for this coastal corner. That said, winds are frequently offshore: N/NNE/NE/NNW flow sits near 31% of observations, and ideal conditions are present 33% of the time.
Water temperatures climb to 20.9°C, air temperatures average 21.5°C (min 16.9°C, max 26.3°C), and precipitation drops to just 0.93mm/day. July is perfect for a longboard, for learning, or for splitting time between sightseeing and the occasional clean, waist-high peak. Just don't expect any headline winter swell.
