Conditions at Ten Thousand Peaks in July
July: Maximum Size, Minimum Quality
July is the peak of the Southwest Monsoon and the most frustrating month for surf quality. The average swell height reaches about 7-8ft (2.1-2.4m) with a 10.5s period, and the wave height distribution shows an extraordinary concentration of 6-8ft (2-2.5m) and 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) swell. The direction is almost pure W, which is an ideal swell angle for the beach - if the water were not being shredded by the same wind.
Ideal wind conditions collapse to only 2%, the lowest of the year. The wind rose is dominated by WSW at 30.5%, W at 30.1% and WNW at 16.6%, making for relentless onshore, blown-out conditions. With 35.07mm of rain per day, air temperature at 27.1°C and water at 28.2°C, July is a month for watching surf videos, not surfing Ten Thousand Peaks. The rare occasion when the wind shifts offshore could be epic, but you would need a lot of luck.
