Conditions at Alwars in July
July: Deepest Monsoon - Shadowed South Swell
July continues the southwest monsoon grind. Average height sits at 3.3ft (1.0m) with a solid 11.1s period, so there is real energy in the ocean. Yet the direction breakdown is brutally one-sided: S (52%) and SSW (46%) account for 98% of the swell, leaving almost nothing in the NE/ENE/E range that this beach wants. South and south-southwest pulses have a long theoretical path, but by the time they reach Alwars the energy is poorly aligned with the shoreline and quickly loses shape.
Wind-wise, WSW dominates at 73%, with SW adding 16% and W another 7%; all are offshore directions. But much of that wind blows in the 20-40kph range, which is why only 21% of the month is truly ideal for surfing. Expect clean-but-mushy surfaces, occasional bigger pulses if a Bay of Bengal depression drifts close, and warm, humid conditions: air 27.7°C, water 26.7°C, rainfall 2.90 mm/day.
