Conditions at 8th Street Jetty in July
July: Peak Summer Micro-Glassy
July is the heart of the summer doldrums. Average heights bottom out at 2.6ft (0.8m) and period sits at 7.0s - the Jetty is essentially delivering small, clean ankle-to-knee high waves. The swell roses are painfully summer-like: SSE (33.4%) and S (27.3%) dominate, while SE (19.6%) is the largest contributor from the optimal window. On the positive side, ideal offshore wind peaks at 50%, the best month of the year, with WSW (9.2%), WNW (5.4%) and NW (5.4%) often blowing in the morning. Water temperatures reach a balmy 21.1°C and air temperatures average 23.3°C, so it feels like summer in every way. There will be the occasional 1-1.5m SSE pulse from a far-off tropical wave, but true quality only occurs if a strong high pressure system sets up offshore and steers a rare ESE swell in while winds stay from the west. Otherwise, bring the summer board.
