Conditions at Ventnor Pier in July
July: Peak Summer Heat and Marginal Surf
July is the most consistent source of south/southeast windswell and the least consistent source of quality surf. Average height remains at 3ft (0.9m), period 7.0s, and the swell rose is nearly absurd in its south/southeast dominance - SSE (30.9%), S (27.4%), SE (17.1%) and ESE (10.1%). The same onshore winds that build these waves also mess them up: SSW (19.9%), SW (15.2%) and S (11.2%) dominate the wind distribution. Ideal wind drops to 26%. The best chance for decent waves is an early morning glass-off before the seabreeze nukes the surface, or a passing tropical system in the Atlantic. Water temp hits 23.0°C and air averages 23.9°C.
