Conditions at Murtosa in July
July: Peak Summer Flat Spell
July is the quietest month of the year at Murtosa in terms of surf quality. The average swell height is only 1.4m (4.6ft) and the average period is 8.5s, the lowest of the year. Although the direction statistics still show a healthy-looking NW peak at 44.9% and NNW at 30.6%, these waves are mostly short-period windswell generated by the relentless northerly winds. The bulk of the surf falls in the small-to-marginal 0.5-1.5m (1.6-4.9ft) range, with only modest 1.5-2m (5-6.6ft) sets from NW. The ideal-window frequency is just 9%, the lowest in the annual cycle, because the sea breeze and synoptic north wind dominate: NNW is 49.6%, NW 15.2% and WNW 6.4%. Expect lumpy, onshore surf and a lot of closeouts. Air temperatures are warm at 20.8°C, rainfall is minimal at 0.35 mm/day, and water temperature holds near 17.3°C.
