Conditions at Ingonish Beach in July
July: Warm Water, Tiny Waves
July is the ultimate summer surf month at Ingonish in terms of comfort, but it is also the smallest of the year. The average swell height bottoms out at 2ft (0.7m) with a 6.8s period, and the majority of the energy comes from S (15.2%), SSE (14.9%) and SSW (11.5%). These soft, short-period pulses wrap around the cape and produce the occasional waist-high sandbar ripple, but rarely anything with power. It is a fantastic month to be in the water: water temperature peaks at 15.5°C, air temps average 17.5°C, and ideal offshore winds reach a year-high 47%, with SW (14%), WSW (13.8%) and SSW (11.6%) all well represented. The beach is clean and user-friendly, the water is warm enough for a summer wetsuit, and beginner surfers will find gentle peelers. Dedicated wave-hunters, however, should treat July as a reset month - the ocean is resting before autumn.
