Conditions at Ofir in July
July: Summer Windswell Blues
July is the low point of the year in terms of surf quality. The average swell height is only 1.4m (4.5ft) and the average period falls to 8.6 seconds. The swell directions are still coming from the right places - NW at 37.5%, NNW at 35.7%, WNW at 19.3% - but this is mostly short-period, local NW windswell rather than powerful groundswell. Waves are typically 1-1.5m (3-5ft), occasionally reaching 2m (6.5ft) on NW pulses.
The wind statistics tell the real story: ideal surfing wind only occurs 16% of the time, the lowest of the year. NNW wind dominates at 40.4%, with NW at 16.6%. That means most of the day the surf is blown out, choppy, and messy. Only a rare offshore easterly event, or a dawn patrol glass-off before the afternoon sea breeze, will allow the clean little lefts and rights to show their potential. Water temperature is a pleasant 16.7°C, air averages 20.6°C, and rainfall is minimal at 0.54mm/day.
