July: Mid-Winter Swell and Westerly Tendencies
July is the middle of winter and stays in the upper tier for surf quality. Average swell is around 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m), average period is 9.4s, and the wave rose shows a mixed picture: ENE is the single largest source at 16.7 percent, with S close behind at 15.8 percent and SSE at 13.5 percent. This mix gives the beach both trade-wind residual swell and frontal groundswell, so there are almost always waves; the challenge is sorting through the variety.
The wind distribution remains friendly, with an ideal wind score of 36 percent. WSW is again a major player at 12.5 percent, SW adds 9.9 percent, and W contributes 7.9 percent, meaning the offshore quadrant is well represented. Rain increases a bit to 4.68 mm/day, while water temperature bottoms out at 15.8°C and air temperatures average 13.6°C (ranging from 1.7°C to 25.2°C). July is classic winter surfing: colder, heavier and frequently clean.
