July: The Cleanest Winter Wind Windows
July is the heart of winter and also the statistically cleanest month at the Mount, with 49 percent ideal offshore winds. WSW at 15.6 percent, W at 13.5 percent, and SW at 9.8 percent keep the beach well groomed, but the swell direction is one of the least favorable of the year: the optimal NNE-NE-ENE-E window falls to 41.9 percent. Average height remains at 1.3m (4-5ft) with a period of 8.1s. The spread shows plenty of ENE at 14.4 percent and NNW at 10.3 percent, with a broadening W/NW sector reflecting winter lows passing over the North Island. This means more cross-on and onshore NW windswell and less pure east-northeast groundswell. Still, the consistency and the glassy offshore mornings can produce excellent sessions, especially in the 1-1.5m and 1.5-2m range. Water temperature drops to a chilly 14.7°C and air averages 11.8°C. Bring the 5/4 and a beanie, and pick your moments.
