Conditions at Playa Bahoruco in July
July: Peak Trade-Wind Concentration
July is the king of the ESE windswell. Average swell height holds at 1.0m (3.3ft) with a period of 6.7s, and a staggering 92.9% of all swell comes from the ESE. There is very little E or SE to mix things up, so the wave direction is remarkably constant. Wave heights sit almost evenly split: 43.0% in the 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) class and 47.8% in the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) class. If the wind were offshore, this would be a fun, rippable beach break. But July's ideal wind is only 9%, and the onshore E-ESE sector is powerful. The saving grace is that, unlike the shoulder months, the quality of the swell itself is not bad - it is the prevailing surface texture that holds it back. Water temp is 28.6°C, air temp 25.9°C, rainfall 1.48 mm/day, and tropical waves become a wildcard for bigger, slightly longer-period pulses.
