Conditions at Avalon in July
July: Cleanest Month of the Year - W/NW Offshore Wins
July is statistically Avalon's cleanest month. Ideal wind hits 42%, the highest of the year, and the average wave period sits at a comfortable 9.5s. The swell direction table shows why it feels different: SSE 20%, S 15%, SE 15%, ESE 10%, with increasing SSW and SW from more vigorous Tasman lows and Southern Ocean fronts. What makes July special is the accompanying wind regime. W, WNW, NW and NNW winds combine for a large slice of the wind rose, which spells groomed surface and offshore texture at this beach. Water temp drops to 18.1°C, air temp averages 11.8°C, and precipitation is at its lowest of the year at 1.56 mm/day. When a juicy SSE groundswell lines up with a W/NW breeze, Avalon can produce punchy, hollow beachies despite the lack of XXL swell. It is a month for full winter rubber and early starts.
