Conditions at Jacksonville Beach in July
July: Peak Summer Stagnation
July is the definition of small. The average wave height stays at 0.4m (1.3ft) with a period of 6.6s and a mere 2% ideal wind. The swell direction is unbelievably lopsided: ESE makes up 48.0% of all observations, with SE adding 18.8% and E another 13.8%-this is an ocean almost entirely made of soft, short-period summer windswell. Nearly every observation falls below 0.5m (1.5ft); 0.5-1m (1.5-3ft) appears only in small pockets. The wind distribution is dominated by SSW/SW/WSW, warm and humid, and not conducive to clean conditions. Air temperatures average 27.7°C (82°F), water reaches 28.0°C (82°F), and thunderstorms are the daily rhythm. It is a true low season, saved only by the faint hope of an early tropical disturbance.
