Conditions at Lake Worth in July
July: Peak Summer Slump
July is the absolute bottom of the surf year in Lake Worth. Average wave height plummets to 0.6m (2ft) and the period to 6.2s - the shortest of the year. The swell direction swings hard to ESE (34.9%) and E (26.4%), with a strong SE (12.8%) component, typical of the summer trade wind belt. These are short-period windswells that break in slow, mushy lines. The ideal wind percentage is a dismal 10%, the lowest of the year; offshore winds from the west are rare and usually overridden by the dominant east-southeast flow. Onshore conditions are the norm, making for messy, bumpy surfaces even when there is a pulse. Air temps peak at 28.1°C and water at 29.6°C - true bathtub conditions. With 5.17 mm/day of precipitation, afternoon storms are a daily threat. Unless a tropical cyclone is lurking in the Atlantic, expect waist-high grovelers at best. Summer surf in Lake Worth is for the dedicated and the optimistic.
