Conditions at Topanga Beach in July
July: Small Summer South Peaks
July is the epitome of a south-facing California summer. Swell heights average 0.8m (2.6ft) with a long period of 12.7s, and the direction shifts more toward the favorable south-southwest to southwest quadrant: SW 39.3%, WSW 37.7%, SSW 14.0%. But the waves are mostly small, with the bulk sitting in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) range and only small lumps of 1-1.5m (3-5ft).
Onshore winds rule again - WSW (20.1%), SW (17.9%), SSW (10.9%), W (9.9%) - and ideal wind is just 21%. Water temperature climbs to 16.7°C, air to 20.9°C, and precipitation is virtually nil. When a proper south swell lines up with a rare north wind, Topanga can produce clean, playful peaks, but expect plenty of small summer days.
