Conditions at Nyang Nyang in July
July: Mid-Winter Swell Machine
July is peak dry-season in the Indian Ocean and Nyang Nyang is right in the firing line. The average swell height hits 2.2m (7.2ft), tied for the largest of the year, and the period stands at 14.4 seconds. S and SSW swells combine to provide over 68% of the wave energy, with a big chunk in the 2-2.5m (6-8ft) class - about 44.5% of all waves. Occasional overhead-plus sets above 2.5m (8ft) are part of the mix, especially when deep Southern Ocean lows line up on the Australian ice edge.
Wind is the major wildcard. ESE roars at 61.3% and SE adds 25.7%, leaving only 15% ideal surfing wind. It can be bumpy and challenging, but the long-period consistency is unmatched. Rainfall is nearly absent at 1.03 mm/day, air temp averages 25.8°C and water temperature has cooled to 27.1°C. Make no mistake: July is big, raw and powerful. If you find the sheltered corners or a morning with lighter ESE winds, the rewards are serious.
