Conditions at Loekken in July
July: Peak Summer Flatness
July is the slowest surf month of the year at Loekken. Average swell height holds at 2-3ft (0.8m), period is 5.4s, and the wind is ideal for surfing only 10% of the time. The wave rose is dominated by W (47.0%) - the highest W percentage of any month - but that number is misleading, since most of that energy is less than 1m (3ft). The 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) class is a rare 6.5% and there is essentially no XL swell. Long-period groundswell is almost absent, leaving the coast at the mercy of short-period afternoon sea breeze and onshore W winds.
The ocean provides a temporary reprieve: water temperature averages 16.8C, air temperature matches at 16.8C, and precipitation is 2.25 mm/day. In the absence of real swell, Loekken becomes a longboard and log spot.
