Conditions at Saltburn in July
July: Flattest of the Year
July is the absolute bottom of the North Sea energy curve. The average swell height bottoms out at 2.3ft (0.7m) with an average period of just 5.9s. Although NNE is still the leading swell direction (19.8%), followed by NNW (10.1%) and N (9.4%), much of that reported swell is under 1m-more bump and ripple than actual surf.
The wind pattern actually remains fairly favourable: SW (11.6%), WSW (13.2%) and W (10.3%) dominate, keeping offshore flow around 31%, but there simply isn't enough swell to work with. Water temp peaks at 15.0°C, air temp averages 15.1°C, and precipitation is 2.32mm/day. This is a month for summer beach days, not serious surfing-unless a rare tropical-origin storm or strong low swings north, which is uncommon.
