Conditions at Flagler Avenue in July
July: Glassy, Small and Hot
July is the smallest surf month of the year, averaging just 2-3ft (0.7m) - but it also has the best wind score of any month, with ideal conditions 55 percent of the time. The wave rose is a sea of ESE: a staggering 55.6% of all swell observations come from that direction, almost all in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range. E (16.9%) and SE (13.2%) make up the rest. This is pure windswell, a product of the tropical Atlantic trade winds and local seabreezes. The wind distribution is dominated by southerly quadrants - SSW (12.0%), SW (11.6%), S (10.6%), SSE (10.3%) - so the beach frequently sees offshore/cross-offshore breeze. That combination can produce clean, fun-sized waves for longboarders and loggers. Water temperature peaks at 27.7°C (82°F), air temp averages 27.8°C (82°F), and afternoon thunderstorms are part of the routine. Rainfall averages 5.49 mm/day.
