Conditions at Tolcarne in July
July: Flat Spells, Tiny Waves, Warm Water
July represents the annual low point in Tolcarne's swell calendar. Average wave height bottoms out at 3ft (1.0m) and period drops to 8.3 seconds - the shortest of the year. The W swell direction still dominates absolutely, accounting for 49% of all readings, with WNW another 21%, but the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range is the single biggest bucket, and only a small fraction reach 5-6ft. It is small, grovelly and largely dependent on windswell.
Wind quality is also at its worst: ideal offshore winds blow just 19% of the time, while NNW/NW/WNW onshore flow accounts for over 33% of observations. When the ocean does cooperate, though, the warmest water of the year (16.7°C) and pleasant air temperatures (16.4°C) make for playful summer surf. Look for early morning glass-offs and small west pulses; otherwise, it is a good month for a longboard, a foamy and cold refreshments.
