Conditions at Bore in July
July: The Flattest Weeks of the Year
July is statistically the flattest month of the year at Bore. Average wave height bottoms out at 0.7m (2.3ft) and the average period is a sleepy 6.0s. The swell window is still west-facing, with NW at 25.4%, WNW at 17.3%, W at 13.7% and WSW at 10.2%, but the energy is almost all in the tiny categories and rarely holds any power. Ideal wind is at just 5%, the lowest of the year together with June. The wind rose tells the story: NNW at 27.2% and NW at 15.9% dominate, putting the spot under constant cross-shore or onshore pressure. Water temps peak at 15.4°C and air temps average 14.7°C, which is pleasant for swimming but far from productive for surfing. Unless a freak summer swell appears, July is best used for maintenance, surf trips north, or simply waiting for autumn.
