Conditions at Tifnit in July
July: Peak Summer Flat-To-Choppy Pattern
July is statistically the bottom of the barrel at Tifnit in terms of surfing quality. The average swell height is around 5ft (1.5m) and the average period is just 8.1 seconds - the lowest of the year. The swell direction is almost monolithic: 96.1 percent from the NNW, with only 1.6 percent from the more favourable NW. This is pure trade-wind-driven swell, low in period and inconsistent. The wind is ideal only 5 percent of the time. WNW leads at 34.0 percent, NW follows at 19.0 percent, W at 18.1 percent and WSW at 9.8 percent, all chopping up the surface of an already short-period ocean. Air temperatures are warm, averaging 27.3°C, water temperature reaches 18.8°C and rain is almost absent at 0.07mm/day. For most surfers, July at Tifnit is best treated as the off-season; when a rare wind shift to E/SE coincides with a pulse of NW energy, the beach can still offer small, fun waves, but expectations should stay low.
