July: Peak of the Southern Ocean Swell
July is the heart of winter and the apex of the swell season. Average height peaks at 5.2ft (1.6m) with an average period of 14.1s, and ideal wind remains high at 34%. The swell direction is overwhelmingly SW - 62.4% - giving Tombstones long-period Southern Ocean groundswell that has travelled thousands of miles. SE and SSE winds provide 19.8% and 19.0% of the wind observations respectively, keeping the break offshore and clean for extended stretches. The cost of winter is air temps that bottom out at 18.1°C and water cooling to 23.1°C, with rain at 1.12mm/day. When the swell angle lines up, the reefs will be firing with powerful, hollow, well-overhead sets.
