Conditions at Yport in July
July: Peak Summer, Peak Frustration
July is the slowest month at Yport. The average swell height is 0.8m (2.5-3ft), the average period drops to 6.2s, and the ideal offshore wind percentage falls to 11% - the lowest of the year. The wave rose is extremely W-heavy: W 54.1%, WSW 10.5%, WNW 10.0%. With so much westerly swell and not enough north in it, Yport struggles to produce clean surf. The wind rose is equally disheartening: W winds (17.0%), WSW (13.6%) and WNW (11.0%) are all onshore/cross-onshore.
Air temperature averages 17.4°C and water temperature warms to 18.1°C (64.6°F), making for pleasant beach days but marginal surf. The best bet is to watch for late-afternoon sea breezes, early morning glass, and any low pressure disturbance that brings a N/NW pulse. Even then, expect small, soft waves suited to a high-volume board or a longboard.
