Conditions at Cables in July
July: Mid-Winter Heavy Water
July is peak season in Western Australia. The average swell reaches 2.7m (9ft) with a long-period average of 13.0s. SW energy leads at 26.0%, but WSW (16.5%), W (3.7%) and WNW (1.3%) all add valuable west angle. The 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) class is the dominant single category, while the >2.5m (8ft+) class accounts for around 3% of the time - that is the heavy, pushing, line-up-sorting territory strong surfers live for.
Ideal offshore wind is available 41% of the time, but it is not handed out easily. The wind rose is divided: NE (7.4%) and NNE (6.9%) bring an offshore/cross-offshore feel, while WSW (7.4%), W (7.7%) and WNW (6.7%) can wreck the surface. These westerlies are often tied to storm fronts marching across the Bight. With air temperatures at 15.7°C and water at 18.5°C, plus 4.53mm/day of rain, you will be chasing the days after a front passes when the pressure ridge builds in and the wind swings into the east.
