Conditions at Flagler Beach in July
July: Flattest Month, Highest Water Temps
July is the absolute bottom of the surf year. The average swell height falls to 0.4m (1.3ft) and the period is 8.1s, but most of that is tiny ESE windswell - ESE alone accounts for 56.5% of all observations, with E adding 17.2% and SE another 13.4%. Wind-wise, SW (13.4%), SSW (12.1%), WSW (10.9%), and S (9.9%) are the most frequent directions. Despite the large SW-WSW offshore component, the wind is generally too weak to clean up waves that barely reach knee-high. Ideal wind remains a scant 7%. The ocean is a bath at 27.8°C (82°F), air temps average 27.5°C (82°F), and the rainfall maximum runs about 5.6mm/day. The only real surf hope comes from a tropical wave or early hurricane tracking through the Florida Straits and sending a pulse of long-period E-ENE swell into the beach. Otherwise, bring a log and low expectations.
