Conditions at Wainui Beach in July
July: Midwinter Punch and Occasional XL
July is winter's strongman month. Average swell height remains at 7ft (2.1m), average period is 10.8 seconds, and the S/SSE/SSW complex continues to feed a constant stream of powerful groundswell. There is also an increase in E/SE energy compared to June, giving Wainui a better chance of holding that east in the swell direction. Big surf days are not uncommon, with a significant portion of the spectrum in the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) range and occasional waves pushing past 8ft (2.5m). Ideal offshore wind frequency drops slightly to 50 percent, but WNW through NNW flow remains the dominant clean component, and with only 11 percent onshore E/SE winds, the beach stays surfable more often than not. Water temperature falls to 13.8°C, air temperatures bottom out around 9.4°C, and rainfall is at its annual peak of 4.01mm per day. This is a month for thick rubber, a step-up board and a healthy respect for the ocean - when a properly sized S/SSE groundswell lines up with a NW offshore, Wainui is world-class.
