Conditions at Sun Beach in July
July: The Flat-Season Core
July is peak Caribbean summer, and Sun Beach feels it. Average swell height is 1ft (0.3m), period is 3.1 seconds, and ENE swell balloons to a staggering 62% of the wave spectrum. There is almost no N/NNW energy above micro size, and the best-direction swell from NNW and N totals only about 5%. For an exposed NNW break, this is the definition of flat.
The E trade wind machine is in top gear: E alone accounts for 33% of all winds, with ENE at 23% and ESE at 20%. Speeds are moderate to fresh, keeping the surface lumpy. Air temperatures peak at 29°C (84°F), water temperature reaches 30°C (86°F), and summer showers deliver 2.43 mm/day of rain. Any wave activity is usually localised windswell, tiny and confused. If a hurricane approaches, the direction will likely be wrong for Sun Beach; surfers should not hold their breath.
