Conditions at Lido di Ostia in July
July: The Peak of the Doldrums
July is the absolute bottom of the surf season at Lido di Ostia. The average swell height is 1.5ft (0.5m) and the period sinks to 4.4s - barely enough to call it a wave. The swell rose shows a curious concentration in the west (W 29%, WSW 15%, WNW 15%), but this is entirely wind-driven chop from the daily Ponente and Libeccio breezes. Onshore winds represent 44% of the wind record, while offshore easterlies are a rare 9%. Ideal wind blows just 8% of the time, the joint-lowest of the year. Heat is in full force: air temps average 25.7°C with spikes near 39°C, and the water is a balmy 24.5°C. The beach is packed with bathers, not surfers, and the occasional 2ft lump is at best a novelty. Save the wetsuit for another season.
