Conditions at Varazze in July
July: The Peak Flat Season
July is typically the flattest month of the year at Varazze, with average swell down to 1.5ft (0.4m) and average period of 4.3s. The swell rose is still dominated by SSW (35.2%) and SW (24.5%), but most readings fall below 2ft (0.5m), making the surf too small and micro for traditional board riding. Winds are dominated by SE (16.9%), SSE (15.0%) and NNW (17.0%), and the onshore thermal sea breeze becomes a daily feature. The ideal surf wind percentage drops to 8%, the lowest of the year. The summer high-pressure ridge usually parks itself across the western Mediterranean, keeping most storm tracks north of the Alps; any swell that shows up is local, bumpy windswell with barely enough push to stand up. Water temperature peaks at 22.2°C, air temperatures average 23.0°C, and precipitation drops to the annual minimum at 1.08 mm/day. If you are not a foiler or a longboarder, there is very little reason to stress about waves; the best move is to wait for a rare thunderstorm outflow or simply enjoy the beach.
