Conditions at Killer Point in July
July: Peak Summer Windswell at Killer Point
July is the epitome of the Moroccan summer surf pattern. The average swell height is still 1.6m (5.2ft) but the average period drops to just 7.8s, the shortest of the year. A massive 93.8% of the wave energy comes from the NNW, with NW only 0.8%. The ocean is essentially a wind-driven machine, generating short-period swell that is punchy and rideable, but far from the powerful groundswell of winter. Most waves sit in the 1-2m range, meaning it can still be a fun groveler on a good day.
The wind picture remains marginal. Ideal offshore flow appears only 20% of the time, with NNW winds at 40.4% and NW at 23.4%. Consistent trade winds produce lumpy, warbly conditions much of the day, but the early mornings often see lighter winds and cleaner shapes, especially when a weak offshore land breeze sneaks in. With air temperatures at 23.1°C, water temp 17.8°C and almost no rain at 0.04mm/day, it is a comfortable but inconsistent summer surf setup.
