Conditions at Denvils in July
July: Winter Peak - Maximum Juice, Maximum Caution
July is statistically the biggest swell month of the year. Average height hits 8ft (2.4m) with period 12.5s. SSW (23.2%) and SW (26.2%) are nearly equal, and the SW direction features 13.7% of all waves in the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) range plus 1.4% over 8ft (2.5m). These are solid, powerful winter waves for experienced surfers.
Wind quality is still limited-ideal time is only 19%. WSW (15.9%) and W (15.1%) lead the wind rose, with NNW (11.2%) and NW (7.6%) lurking as onshore threats. The cleanest days require a strong high-pressure system to tilt the wind offshore into S/SW. Water temp is 17.7°C and air temp 15.9°C; this is wetsuit-friendly but pumping territory.
