Conditions at Margara in July
July: Tiny and Cross-Shore
July is the heart of the summer flat spell. The average wave height is only 4.5ft (1.3m), the period is 6.2s, and the swell is almost entirely ENE at 76.8%, with E adding another 22.5% and NE nearly absent. There is essentially no N, NNE, NW or NNW swell reaching Margara, which means the north-facing beach is seeing poorly angled, wind-driven waves. The biggest chunk of swell sits in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with some 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) sets, but the short period and cross-shore nature kill the quality. East winds dominate at 53.9%, ENE at 31.2%, and ideal offshore wind is only present 35% of the time. Water is bathwater warm at 28.5°C, air averages 27.7°C, and rainfall is 3.51 mm/day. It is not a month to plan a surf trip around.
