Conditions at Lincoln City in July
July: The Lowest of the Low Season
July is statistically the hardest month to score at Lincoln City. The average swell slips to 4.3ft (1.3m) with a 9.7s period - average, punchy, but far from powerful - and ideal wind sits at a paltry 7%. Swell direction shifts north: WNW (34%) and NW (35%) dominate, with W (21%) secondary. Meanwhile, the thermal low pumps a relentless NNW wind 56% of the time, with NW at 11%, making most afternoons unsurfable. The rare clean windows happen when a weak offshore breeze coincides with a small NW swell, usually before the daily sea breeze kicks in. Water temp drops to 11.6°C due to upwelling, air averages 15.3°C, and precipitation is essentially nil at 0.46mm/day; keep the mid-length or longboard ready and expectations low.
