Conditions at Kraakevika in July
July: Best for Longboarders and Lake Surfers
July is the solar minimum of the surf calendar at Kraakevika. The average height is only 2ft (0.7m), and the period is 7.0s - the lowest of any month. Most of the energy is small NW/NNW windswell (NW 14%, NNW 23%, W 16%), with the swell report rarely hitting the fun zone. That said, occasional pulses of 1-1.5m (3-5ft) W/WSW swell can still arrive when a properly strong low brushes the Norwegian Sea. The offshore wind clock is at its weakest, with only 15% ideal flow, while summer pressure patterns favour NE (20%) and SW/WSW (28%), the latter of which is directly onshore for a west-facing beach. The water is at its warmest - 13.0°C - and air temperatures average 13.4°C, but this is the month to bring the longboard, a thick shortie, and low expectations.
