Conditions at Bantham in July
July: Flat Spells and Micro-Grovels
July is the slowest month for Bantham. The average swell height is 3ft (1.0m) with the shortest period of the year at 7.1s. Swell directions are dominated by WSW (35.0%) and W (27.4%), but these are mostly windswell and low-energy residuals. Ideal wind drops to 13% - the poorest since winter. The prevailing winds now blow from the southwest to west-southwest (SW+WSW+W = 39.2%) at moderate speeds, often onshore. The only saving grace is the occasional weaker front that drifts down from the Atlantic; a fresh W/NW windswell can produce a few fun, hollow walls on a high tide bank. Air temps reach their summer peak (16.1°C), the sea is a warm 15.8°C, and rain is modest. Surfing is really confined to the high tides and the early morning, when the sea breeze hasn't yet destroyed the shape. If you ride a fish or a foamie, you'll still have a laugh; if you're chasing tubes, look elsewhere.
