Conditions at The Cribbar in July
July: Summer Slumber
July is the Cribbar's quietest month. Average swell height bottoms out at 1.0m (around 3ft), the average period is just 8.3s - the shortest of the year - and the energy is mostly small, windswell-like W and WNW lines. W swell alone makes up 48.9% of all swell observations, with WNW another 21.1%, so the direction remains perfect even as the size and period abandon us. More importantly, ideal wind only blows 16% of the time, the lowest of the year. When the sun gets going, sea breezes from the north/northwest kick up and destroy the morning glass. Air temperatures peak at 16.4°C, precipitation averages 2.52 mm/day, and water temperature is a mild 16.7°C. July is all about kiting, paddling, and jumping in the sea - not about riding serious waves on the reef.
