Conditions at Flowrider in July
July: Midwinter Power
July keeps the winter momentum rolling. The average period holds at 10.7s, average swell is 1.7m (5.6ft), and the southern quadrant continues to feed the beach: S 24.6%, SSE 16.9%, E 13.7%, SE 12.1%. A notable ENE presence at 9.9% adds more of the optimal swell direction. Ideal wind remains high at 56%, with WNW 13.2%, NW 9.4%, and NNW 9.1% combining for a persistent offshore/cross-offshore flow. The onshore E/SE winds are reduced to around 12%, so surfaces are generally much cleaner than in summer. Water temperature reaches its coolest at 21.8°C, air averages 18.1°C, and rainfall is limited at 0.96mm/day. The result is powerful, grinding surf in the 3-6ft (1-2m) range, with some bigger 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) sets when the Southern Ocean really lets go.
