Conditions at Mullaghmore Head in July
July: The Smallest Window
July is typically the smallest month of the year at Mullaghmore. Average swell height is just 2-3ft (0.8m) and period is 8.5s, the lowest of the calendar. The swell rose still points to WNW (35%), W (21%), NW (20%), and NNW (12%), but the wave-height distribution is overwhelmingly in the 0.5-1m range; there is almost no swell above 2m. This is summer windswell season - a far cry from the grinding XXL groundswell of winter. Wind conditions are a mixed bag: southwesterly and westerly breezes are common (SW 8%, WSW 10%, W 12%, WNW 11%), while NNW winds also account for 11%. Ideal winds happen only 27 percent of the time, but those offshore S/SSW/SW windows can make the small surf surprisingly clean and playful. With air temps at 14.8°C and water peaking around 15.7°C, it is a fine month for a surf trip if you are happy to ride a log or a fish and accept the lack of size.
