July: Peak Summer Smallness with Maximum Clean Wind Potential
July is the classic 'small but clean' month at Manasquan. The average swell falls to 2-3ft (0.8m), the lowest of the year, and the period sits at 7.0s. The swell distribution is extraordinarily lopsided: SSE alone accounts for around a third of the total, S another quarter, and SE nearly a fifth. Most of those waves are in the 0.5-1m range, making it a micro to small surf period. What saves the month is wind. The ideal wind percentage reaches 49 percent, the highest of any month, as light west and northwest flows often keep morning conditions clean. Once the sun heats the land, a south/southwest sea breeze kicks up, but the summer surface is often manageable. Water temperatures peak around 21.1°C and air temperatures average 23.3°C. This is not the time for serious swell-chasing; it is the time for log rides, longboards and fun-sized waves.
