Conditions at Neva Bay in July
July: Smallest of the Year
July is typically Neva Bay's smallest month. The average swell height bottoms out at 4.3ft (1.3m), the period is 10.2s, and the swell direction stays pinned in the SW/WSW corridor: SW 32.8%, WSW 28.8%, SSW 17.2%. The problem is that almost all of that is in the 0.5-1.5m range, and waves over 2.5m are essentially absent. This is firmly a summertime small-wave setup. Ideal wind falls to 21%, the lowest of the year, while NW winds peak at 20.7% and WNW adds 12.7% - a combination that quickly makes the surface bumpy. The saving grace is water temperature: 13.0°C (55°F) is close to the warmest of the year, making extended sessions more comfortable. It is a longboard month at heart.
