Conditions at La Sud in July
July: Peak Summer Doldrums
July is the absolute flat/weakest point of the calendar. The average swell is 3ft (0.9m), the period is the shortest of the year at 9.0 seconds, and ideal offshore wind is only 15%. NW dominates the direction with 66.5% of the distribution, but a massive 43.3% of all observations fall in the 0.5-1m range. Small, weak, chopped-up surf is the norm, especially as westerly onshore winds and summer sea breezes dominate the afternoons. Water temperature reaches 21.8°C, the warmest of the summer before August peaks, but this is the season to work on water time, not expect barrels. If any surf arrives, catch it early in the morning before the seabreeze turns it to mush.
