Conditions at Belharra in July
July: Peak Summer, Minimum Power
The most marginal month of the year. Average swell height is 3ft (1.0m), average period 8.8s - the lowest of the year - and ideal wind percentage bottoms out at 14%. Swell from the NW makes up 65% of observations, but it is overwhelmingly small: 36% of all waves are 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and only small percentages reach 5-7ft (1.5-2m). Onshore NNW winds are the dominant surface flow at 19.5%, with WNW and NW also strong. What surf exists is short-period, bumpy and hard to enjoy on a deep-water reef like Belharra. The weather is beautiful - 20°C air, 21.8°C water, only 1.67mm of rain per day - but the ocean is flat and weak. This is the month to save your energy for other activities or the coming autumn.
