Conditions at Bogliasco in July
July: Peak Summer Doldrums - Warm Water, Minimal Waves
July is the flattest month of the year. Average swell height is a meager 1.5ft (0.4m), average period bottoms out at 4.6s, and ideal offshore wind occurs only 10% of the time. Even though SW remains the primary swell direction at 41.7%, nearly all of that energy is under 1m (3ft). The Mediterranean high-pressure ridge tends to suppress storminess, leaving Bogliasco with long periods of ankle-to-knee high windswell.
Wind observations show the sea-breeze regime in full effect: SSE (16.1%), SE (14%) and S (13%) dominate, while N/NNE/NNW winds fall to about 22%. Water temperature sits at a warm 23.7°C and air averages 22.4°C, making summer swimming pleasant but surfing marginal. Any rideable wave is a bonus, and only the rare early-morning offshore window or a local thunderstorm outflow can put a smile on your face.
