Conditions at Bournemouth in July
July: High Summer, Minimal Waves
July is the annual low point for wave quality at Bournemouth. Average swell remains at 0.7m (2ft) and mean period bottoms out at 5.7s, which is classic short-period, locally generated chop. WSW swell dominates with 37.4% of the wave rose and SW adds another 23.6%, but more than 42% of the entire month is under 0.5m and a huge slice sits in the 0.5-1m groveller range. The offshore wind window shrinks to 12%, while SW (17.0%) and WSW (15.5%) winds blow across the beach. Water temperatures reach 15.5°C and air temps 16.6°C, with precipitation a low 1.64 mm/day. When the sea breeze dies at dusk, sandbars can still offer small, clean waist-high waves, but anyone chasing proper surf is probably looking elsewhere.
