Conditions at Little Malibu in July
July: Peak Summer Weirdness
July delivers the smallest waves of the year at Little Malibu - just 3ft (1.0m) on average - and the period bottoms out at a sleepy 6.7 seconds. The swell rose is even more lopsided than usual, with ENE providing 67.8% of the energy and E chipping in 26.5%. This is about as close to pure trade-wind windswell as it gets, with very little west in the mix. Winds stay clean and offshore 87% of the time, and the ENE (37.0%) and E (27.4%) breezes keep the lines smooth and open. Water temp is at its tropical peak of 28.6°C, and the island showers are becoming more frequent (3.12 mm/day). Unless you're a sucker for gliding on grovelers, July is best used for foam boards, skimboarding, or just soaking up the sun between sets.
