Conditions at Falasarna in July
July: Meltemi Peak, Clean but Small
July is the peak of the meltemi season, and Falasarna sees a curious split personality. The average swell is still a modest 0.7m (2.5ft) with a 5.3s period, but the source direction is strongly north-northeast, with NNE swells at 22.1 percent - largely blocked from the west-facing exposure. The west-northwest window is also active at 34.2 percent, but again, the energy is small, with most waves below 1m. On the bright side, ideal wind conditions improve to 16 percent, as NE/NNE flows create a clean cross-offshore texture and the meltemi keeps the surface relatively groomed. The bad news is that when W/WSW wind takes over, the beach turns into onshore slop. Water temp rises to 25.3°C, air temps average 25.6°C, and rain is almost nil. For surfers, July is more about a fast waist-high wave and warm water than any real grunt.
