Conditions at Porth Neigwl in July
July: High Pressure and Small Lines
July marks the slowest surf of the year, with average swell at 4ft (1.2m) and the shortest average period of 8.2s. The wave rose is still W/WSW-heavy - W at 37.7%, WSW at 20.8%, WNW at 16.4% - but the bulk is in the 0.5-1.5m range, and the long-period energy of winter is completely absent. Ideal wind occurs just 15% of the time, the lowest of the year, and often the wind is blowing from the NW or WNW, which is onshore at this exposed beach. Water warms to 16.5°C, air to 16.3°C, and it starts to feel like summer. The ocean is more of a swimming destination than a serious surf venue. Still, a small, clean W swell on a morning before the sea breeze kicks in can provide fun 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) waves on a summer log.
