Conditions at State's Avenue in July
July: Peak Summer Slump
July is the heart of the summer slump. The average swell height remains at 3ft (0.9m), period is 7.0s, and the wave rose becomes almost entirely southerly. SSE alone accounts for 30.9% of all swell, S adds 27.4%, and SE another 17.1%. For an SSE-facing beach, that is the ideal direction, but almost all of it falls in the 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) range.
The Bermuda High locks in place and pumps SSW/SW winds across the coast, making clean conditions the exception. Ideal-wind frequency is 26%, but the window is small and often short-lived. Water temperature is a warm 23.0°C, air temperature averages 23.9°C, and the ocean is as inviting as it gets. The waves are the weak link - take the longboard and chase the morning tide.
