Conditions at Shoals Point in July
July: Peak Offshore Winds, Minimum Swell
July is the cleanest month of the year at Shoals Point, but also the smallest. Average swell slips to about 4ft (1.3m) with a 10.2s period, and SW/WSW directions dominate at 62% of the wave energy. True E through SSE swell is nearly absent, sitting at just 1.5%, so there are no real groundswell pulses from the ideal window. Offshore W-NW winds peak near 46%, with the classic summer northwest wind regime delivering sparkling conditions on a regular basis. This is prime small-wave time: clean 1-1.5m (3-5ft) rippable lines, longboard nose rides, and no shortage of summer stoke. Water temperature reaches 13.0°C, average air temps sit at 12.7°C, and precipitation ticks up to 4.34 mm/day. Not a month for heavy waves, but an excellent month for staying sharp and enjoying the ocean.
