July: Mid-Winter Power and Consistency
July keeps the winter momentum rolling. Offshore wind remains high at around 41%, with NNW at 22.1%, NW at 9.7%, NNE at 4.9%, and N at 4.7%. W and WSW winds also contribute a piece of the mix, which can put a little extra texture on the swell. The wave statistics are still flat in the dataset, but the regional pattern is at its most reliable for S/SSW groundswell. Water temps hit the annual low of 15.8°C, air averages 13.8°C, and precipitation is 1.22 mm/day. If you can time a post-frontal N/NNW offshore window, Wilderness can deliver some serious, heavy winter surf.
