Conditions at Spessard Holland in July
July: Peak Heat, Minimal Waves
July continues the summer slowdown with an average swell height of just 1.6ft (0.5m) and an 8.0s period. The swell direction shifts even further to the ESE, which accounts for 45% of all wave observations-but 28% of those are below 0.5m and another 16.5% only reach 1-3ft (0.5-1m). E swell is the second-most common at 37%, though it is similarly small. The few NE/ENE pulses are few and far between, meaning the beach is typically firing on all cylinders for small-wave cruiser boards and longboards only.
Wind remains the crux. Onshore ESE/SE trades are entrenched, blowing a combined 26% of the time; light SSW/S/SW breezes provide some relief but only 13% of the time overall. The water is a bathwater 83°F (28.5°C), air temps peak near 81°F (27.4°C), and tropical moisture brings almost 6mm of rain per day. It is flat and bumpy more often than not, but a passing hurricane in the Bahamas or a strong tropical wave can occasionally flip the script and send clean ENE swell through the window.
