July: Winter Swell With Offshore Windows
July keeps the winter momentum rolling. Average surf height remains 5-6ft (1.7m), average period is a solid 9.5s, and ideal surfing wind remains high at 58%. S continues to be the dominant swell direction (18.0%), with SSE (12.9%), ENE (13.4%), E (11.9%) and SE (10.6%) all contributing. The swell is a blend of long-period southern groundswell and east-northeastern windswell, which means there is nearly always something to surf. The 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range is again the most common size, and 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) waves are a regular occurrence from S and SSW.
Windwise, NNE (23.5%) remains the dominant cross-shore breeze, but SSW (11.3%) and SW (11.8%) are also strong presences. WSW (6.4%), W (3.1%), WNW (2.2%) and NW (2.9%) add up to more true offshore angles than in summer. Cold fronts continue to march across the South Atlantic, creating that classic post-frontal setup: dropping winds, clearing skies and crisp, groomed surf. Air temperature is at the coolest of the year, 16.7°C, and water temperature drops to 17.4°C. A 3/2 or 4/3 wetsuit is essential.
