Conditions at Maroubra in July
July: Peak Season Firepower
July is the statistical peak of the Maroubra season. The average swell is 1.7m (5-6ft) with a 9.5s period, but the standout is the wind: ideal conditions occur 41 percent of the time, the highest of any month. Swell directions are concentrated in the SSE (17 percent), S (15 percent), SE (11 percent) and SSW (7 percent), with a decent showing from SW (4 percent) and WSW (2 percent). When these S/SE groundswells line up with WSW, W, WNW and NW winds, Maroubra turns into a rippable, hollow sandbar. The winter high-pressure ridge sitting across southern Australia funnels these offshore westerlies toward the coast. Air temperature averages just 13.8°C, water drops to 18.5°C, and July is the driest month with only 1.60mm/day of rain, meaning clean conditions and less runoff.
