Conditions at Sidi Kaouki in July
July: Flatline Summer
July brings the slowest surf of the year to Sidi Kaouki. Average swell height is 1.6m (5ft) but the period sits at just 7.6s, and an astonishing 84.9% of the swell comes from the NNW. The wind is ideal only 22% of the time, with the NNE trade peaking at 51.1% and a strong N component (22.7%) blowing along the coast. Water temps edge up to 18.9°C (66°F) and air averages 21.6°C (71°F), with virtually no rain (0.04 mm/day). The 1.5-2.0m (5-6.5ft) range is the most common, but those waves are crumbly, short-period windswell. Expect groveling conditions, micro-waves, and plenty lumps. Only a rare southerly or unusual W-SW swell would light this month up, and those are few and far between in summer.
