July: Flattest But Most Aligned
July is typically the slowest month of the year, with an average swell height of just around 4ft (1.3m) and a period of 10.2 seconds. Interestingly, the swell direction is almost perfectly aligned: over 88 percent of the energy comes from SSW-SW-WSW-W - mostly small swell that struggles to break with any punch. The station shows ideal wind only 25 percent of the time, the lowest number of the entire year. The wind rose is dominated by WNW (17.5%) and NW (11.5%), both poor to marginal for this west-southwest-facing shoreline. Air temps peak at 12.7°C and water warms to 13.0°C, but the lack of size and groomed conditions makes consistent surf very hard to find.
