Conditions at Ormond Beach in July
July: Small, Sideshore and Sultry
July is the heart of the Florida summer lull. The average swell height bottoms out at around 1-2ft (0.4m) and the average period is 8.1s, but almost all of that energy is faint ESE windswell - 56.5 percent of the swell rose comes from the ESE, with E another 17.2 and SE 13.4. There simply isn't enough open-ocean fetch to generate quality waves at this east-northeast exposed beach. Wind conditions are equally discouraging for quality: ideal offshore wind is only 7 percent, while the most common directions are SSW (12.2), SW (12.4), S (10.6), SSE (10.0) and SE (10.7). Sideshore and onshore flow dominates, and the average wave period means nothing is going to break with real punch. Water temperature peaks near 27.7°C, air temps average 27.5°C, and humidity makes every breath feel like a warm shower. Unless a rogue tropical wave drifts through, July is a flat, soft, longboard-and-lounge month.
