Conditions at Satellite Beach in July
July: Micro Swell and Summer Showers
July is similarly slow, with average swell at 1-2ft (0.3-0.6m), period at 8.0s and ideal wind at 10%. The wave window is dominated by ESE at 44.7% and E at 36.6%, so Satellite Beach is a magnet for any stray E/ESE swell, but the wave heights rarely reach above 2ft (0.6m). The majority is below 1ft (0.3m), leaving the beach fat and soft. Winds are mostly from SSE through SW, feeding the summer seabreeze pattern, while E/ESE fetch winds add plenty of onshore texture. A passing hurricane dozens to hundreds of miles offshore can light things up, but in a normal year July is better for swimming than for performance surfing. Water temperature peaks near 83F (28.1C), and afternoon thunderstorms are frequent.
