Conditions at Karmay in July
July: Flat Spells and Warm Water
July remains in the summer lull. Average height is 3.6ft (1.1m), average period drops to 6.7s, the lowest of the year. Much of the energy is short-period windswell from NW, WNW and NNW, although the southwest-facing beach can still pick up small S/SW pulses in the waist-to-shoulder range.
Winds are dominated by the NNW regime at 25.6% and NW at 14.7%, with onshore/cross-shore breezes from SSE and S common as the day heats up. Ideal offshore flow only occurs about 20% of the time. Water temperature is 15.0°C, air temp averages 14.7°C, and this is the easiest the Norwegian coast gets - good for fun summer surf, not for expecting power.
