Conditions at Meron in July
July: Peak Summer Slog
July is Meron's most challenging surf month. Average swell height limps along at 3ft (0.9m), and the average period slips to 8.7s - the lowest of the year. There is still a lot of NW and NNW swell in the water (44.1% and 36.0% respectively), but most of it is weak 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) windswell rather than true groundswell. It is small, lumpy and often closeout.
The wind story gets worse: ideal conditions are present only 14% of the time. ENE (18.6%) and NE (14.8%) winds dominate, and the N/NNW quadrant adds another 15% of onshore influence. This is the classic summer setup where the Azores High pumps in cross-shore/onshore flow and wrecks the surf. Water temperature hits 19.6°C and air averages 19.3°C, so booties and hoods are gone - but the surf needs more than warm water.
