Conditions at Bondi in July
July: Core Winter Consistency
July is the heart of the Bondi winter. The Southern Ocean is at full tilt, and the beach sees an ideal mix of SSE (16.9 percent), S (15.0 percent), and SE (11.3 percent) swell. Average heights are 5-6ft (1.7m), but the distribution is loaded with 5-7ft (1.5-2m) sets and plenty of 6-8ft (2-2.5m) bombs. Periods average 9.5s, close enough to the long-period class to give the waves real push. The wind machine also shifts in your favor: offshore N/NW quadrant flow hits its annual peak at 34 percent and onshore S/SE wind is down to just 15 percent, so the ideal-wind window holds at 37 percent. With water temp at 18.4°C and air temps at a brisk 13.8°C, a good wetsuit is essential. July is the closest thing Bondi gets to guaranteed quality - if you can take a few cold mornings, you'll be rewarded with some of the cleanest, most powerful surf of the year.
