Conditions at Ibaraki in July
July: Summer Lull Sizzles
July brings the smallest average swell of the year at 1.2m (3.9ft), with an average period of 8.9s. The swell rose is dominated by ESE (24.3%), SE (19.1%), E (16.7%) and SSE (13.4%), which are mostly local windswell pulses rather than long-period groundswell. There is enough energy for a high-performance longboard or a grovelly shortboard, but the beach really needs a solid typhoon or tropical disturbance to spark bigger surf. The wind outlook is a little better with ideal offshore winds 29% of the time, though SSW (14.8%) and S (10.1%) are common. Air temps peak at 24.5°C, water warms to 20.9°C, and precipitation reaches 5.09 mm/day. Summer surf is about patience and choosing the right tides between squalls.
