July: Consistent Southern Swell, Mixed Conditions

July keeps feeding Pavones with reliable Southern Ocean groundswell. Average height is 3.6ft (1.1m), period a healthy 13.4s, and 51.9% of waves are in the 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) range with 3.9% at 5-6.5ft (1.5-2.0m) and a small 0.1% in the 6.5-8ft (2.0-2.5m) class. SSW still dominates at 97.5%. The wind is the limiting factor: ideal offshore flow is only 29%, and frequent onshore W/WNW winds create bumpy surface conditions.
