Conditions at Destroyers in July
July: Peak Summer Slump
July offers the least favorable surf mix of the year at Destroyers. The average height is 4ft (1.2m), but the period is still only 7.2s. E dominates an overwhelming 75.5% of the wave rose, with ENE at 23.8% and virtually no N, NNE, NE or NNW energy. The surf is mostly short-period easterly windswell in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, often lumpy and sectiony, with occasional cleaner lines only if the wind goes light.
Trade winds are at their strongest and most consistent. ESE contributes 43.3%, E 31.4% and SE 19.8%, meaning the setup is almost always cross-shore or onshore-textured. Ideal wind sits at 37%, but the lack of proper north swell makes those wind windows less exciting than they look on paper. Water temperature climbs to 27.8°C, air temperature averages 27.6°C, and precipitation is 1.72 mm/day. This is the classic month to grab a longboard or wait for a tropical wave to stir things up.
