Conditions at Impossibles in July
July: Peak Power, Peak Turbulence
July is the apex of the dry season in terms of pure swell: 7.2ft (2.2m) at 14.4s, with SSE (9%) and S (33.3%) feeding the SSW (35.2%) pulse. The wave rose shows the largest chunk of energy in the 6.5-8.2ft (2-2.5m) range-nearly 40% of the SSW and S directions-while a few waves creep past 8ft (2.5m). But the trade winds are at their strongest: ESE accounts for 61.3% of the wind, with 37.9% blowing 20-30kph and 2.3% at 30-40kph. Ideal wind drops to just 39%, and the prevailing conditions are often groundswell with a gnarly onshore push. Still, the occasional lull in the trades can reveal Impossibles at its max, with heavy, grinding barrels. Water temperature drops to 27.1°C, rain all but disappears (1.03mm/day), and air temperatures average 25.8°C.
