Conditions at Sabon in July
July: Peak Summer, Smallest Swell
July is the lowest point of the swell calendar at Sabon. Average height bottoms out at 1.3m (4.3ft) and the period shrinks to 8.8s - the weakest combination of the entire year. The swell direction still favors NW (28.8%), WNW (24.0%) and NNW (20.9%), but these are almost exclusively short-period, low-energy waves. Most days offer waves under 1.5m (5ft), with occasional 2m (6.6ft) sets on the more exposed NW pulses.
Winds are increasingly unfavorable for surf quality. The ideal offshore window accounts for only 23% of the time, while NNE/NE winds combine for nearly 37% of all observations. These onshore/cross-shore flows tend to chop up what little swell there is. Air temps reach 17.9°C and water hits 17.7°C - the most pleasant of the year - but smooth, glassy days with decent waves are a rarity. July is best for the beach, not for high-performance surfing.
