Conditions at Sumner Avenue in July
July: Peak Summer Lull
July is the classic mid-summer low. Average swell height remains at 0.9m (3ft) with a short 7.0s average period. The swell rose is incredibly concentrated: SSE (30.9%), S (27.4%), SE (17.1%) and ESE (10.1%) combine for about 85% of observations, but 0.5-1m (2-3ft) is the dominant class. The Bermuda High pumps a relentless SSW (19.9%) and SW (15.2%) flow across the area, and onshore ESE/SE/SSE/S winds total around 24%, so surface texture is often poor. Ideal offshore conditions are only 26%. Water temps hit 22.6°C (73°F), while air temps average 23.9°C (75°F) and precipitation averages 3.50 mm/day. It is tempting to paddle out, but expect plenty of small, soft sections and afternoon sea breezes.
