Conditions at Lagos in July
July: Summer Lull
July is the heart of the low season. Average surf remains at 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) while periods drop to 8.0s, the least powerful of the year. A massive 60% of the swell comes from the NW alone, and nearly all of it sits in the 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) category - too small and too northerly to properly focus on Lagos' southeast-facing banks. NNW and NW winds are frequent, but the percentage of ideal conditions falls to just 24%, often due to light winds, sea breezes and weak swell energy. Water temps are warm at 19.1°C, air temps average 21.3°C and rain is almost non-existent (0.04mm/day). This is beach season, not surf season.
