July: The Small-Wave Stretch
July is the smallest month of the year, with the average swell bottoming out at 4.3ft (1.3m) and the period sitting at 10.2s. The swell direction actually could not be better - SW (32.7%), WSW (29.6%) and SSW (16.6%) dominate the rose completely - but the energy is mostly in the 1.6-4.9ft (0.5-1.5m) class. That means a lot of soft, fun-sized lines rather than powerful groundswell. The wind is the bigger problem: ideal offshore flow drops to just 23%, the lowest of the year, as NW/WNW cross-shore winds and southern breezes take over. Water temperatures are the warmest of the year at 13.0°C (55.4°F), air temperatures average 12.7°C (54.9°F), and precipitation is still modest at 4.34mm/day. It is not a month for high expectations, but the few windows of light offshore wind can still produce playful, rippable waves.
