Conditions at Mavericks in July
July: Mid-Summer Lull, Minimal Offshore Flow
July is the heart of the summer lull. Average swell drops to 4ft (1.3m), the period sits at 10.1s, and most of the energy is marginal 3-5ft (1-1.5m) swell from the WNW. There is essentially no offshore wind - ideal conditions just 2% of the time - and the wind rose is dominated by W and WNW flow at 10-30kph, which stacks up messy surface conditions. Water temp has climbed to 12.2°C, air temp 14.8°C, and rain is nearly nonexistent at 0.07 mm/day. Mavericks is essentially asleep, waiting for the autumn transition.
