July: The Year's Most Reliable Clean Wind
July earns the highest ideal-wind score of the year at 81 percent. ENE and NE trades maintain a clean offshore/cross-offshore flow, with E winds adding more push. The swell remains a southern hemi affair, with SSW, S, and SW producing an average period of 13.5s and wave heights around 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m). The direction is not ideal, but the long-period energy combined with groomed surfaces makes July one of the better green-season months.
