Conditions at Wedge in July
July: Consistent Midwinter Power
July keeps the Southern Ocean machine humming, with an average height of 1.7m (5.6ft) and a nearly identical period of 10.7s. Ideal wind time remains high at 55%. S (24.6%) and SSE (16.9%) continue to dominate, but ENE also rebuilds to 9.9% and E to 13.7%, reflecting the occasional injection of tropical easterly energy. Offshore flow is still healthy: WNW (13.2%), SW (8.6%), W (5.5%), WSW (5.1%). The Wedge stays consistent, with sets in the 1.5-2m range (5-6.5ft) and the occasional bombs in the 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) range when a deep Southern Indian Ocean low sends a properly long-period swell up the coast. Water cools to 21.8°C, air stays mild at 20.0°C, and rain remains low at 1.43mm/day.
