Conditions at Sidi Moussa d'Aglou in July
July: Peak Summer Trade Winds
July is the heart of the Moroccan summer doldrums. Average swell height is only 5ft (1.5m), and the average period drops to 8.1s, the weakest of the entire year. The swell direction is almost entirely north-northwest, with NNW alone providing 96 percent of the wave energy. There are still plenty of waves in the 3-6ft (1-2m) range, but they arrive as short-period junky lines rather than well-organized groundswell.
The wind is consistently unfavorable: onshore flow from the W/WNW/NW/NNW sector accounts for 72 percent of observations, and the dominant NW winds combine with a warm inland pressure gradient to create bumpy, lumpy conditions all day. Only 11 percent of the time can be called ideal. Water is 18.0°C, air averages 22.4°C, and rain is almost nonexistent. If you are surfing in July, bring your grovel board and a lot of patience, because the rare SE offshore dawn patrol is your only real hope.
