July: Midwinter Power with Clean Westerlies
July remains deep in the heart of the best season. Average wave height holds at 2.1m (7ft), average period stays at 11.7s, and the offshore wind probability is 43%. The swell mix is similar to June: S (18.6%) and SSW (20.3%) dominate the source, while SSE (10.3%), SE (6.9%), ESE (6.8%), and E (8.4%) deliver the more direct, surfable directions for Coffee Bay's exposure. The 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) class is extremely healthy, especially from the S/SSW quadrants, meaning that the bay can see consistent mid-sized winter bombs. Offshore W/NW flow remains frequent, and with the cold fronts moving through there's always a fresh supply of energy. Water temp dips to 20.9°C, air temp to 18.8°C, and rainfall is low at 1.10 mm/day. Bring a hood optional, but definitely bring your best shortboard - July is as reliable as the Wild Coast gets.
