Conditions at Parking Lots in July
July: Peak Heat, Peak Frustration
July is the heart of summer lull. The average surf height stays at 3.3ft (1.0m) but the period compresses to 6.7s, the shortest of the year. The direction table is about as bad as it gets for a north-facing spot: ENE provides 68 percent of the swell and E another 26 percent, while N/NNE/NNW is effectively absent. This is pure trade-wind swell - choppy, low, messy by the standards of Parking Lots.
Wind is not the savior either, with ideal offshore flow sitting at 39 percent and the trades dominating from ENE/E/NE. Occasional tropical waves can add a few pulses, but they rarely produce organized groundswell for this exposure. Water temperature peaks near 28.6°C (83.5°F), air temps average 28.3°C (82.9°F), and rainfall is 3.12 mm/day. Summer surfers will be groveling on soft lumps more often than not.
