Conditions at Langland Beach in July
July: The Flat Spell
July is typically the smallest surf month of the year. Average swell height drops to just 2ft (0.7m) with a 7.4-second period, and the wave-height distribution is heavily skewed toward the 0-0.5m and 0.5-1m classes. Windswell from WSW and W comprises close to 78% of all observations, while the ideal S/SSW/SW direction is only a fraction of the total. Langland can still have playful inside peaks, but true open-ocean surf is rare. The wind is ideal only 11% of the time, so many July days are small and lumpy.
The saving grace is summer comfort: water temperatures peak around 17.1°C and air temperatures average 16.1°C. A 3/2 wetsuit is enough for most. For surfers, July is about finding the tiny south pulses and taking advantage of early morning N/NNW breezes before the sea breeze kicks in. It is also a great month to practice on a longboard.
