Conditions at Balangan in July
July: Maximum Size, Maximum Power
July is the peak of the dry-season swell calendar at Balangan. The average swell height reaches 7.2ft (2.2m) -- the joint highest of the year -- and the average period sits at 14.4s. Nearly half of the month's swell falls into the 2-2.5m (6.6-8.2ft) class, with SSW at 35.2% and S at 33.3% sharing the energy load. The trade wind flow is intense: ESE accounts for 61.3% of the wind rose and SE another 25.7%, but the stronger southeast pulses bring ideal wind down to 39% at times. That means plenty of clean sessions, but also periods when the wind overpowers the surface. Rain dries up to just 1.03 mm/day, air temperatures drop to 25.8°C and water temperature cools to 27.1°C. If you are looking for heavy, powerful wave faces and the raw energy of a Southern Ocean swell, July delivers -- but pick your windows with care.
