July: Maximum Swell, Stronger Trade Chop
July brings the biggest, most powerful groundswell of the dry season. The average height jumps to around 6.5ft (2.0m), with period at 14.5s, just shy of the very-powerful threshold. The S/SSW combination is dominant: S at 37.5 percent and SSW at 44.0 percent, with 19.4 and 23.0 percent respectively in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) class, and 14.6 and 14.8 percent in the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) class. This is serious, heavy Indo swell.
The trade wind engine is now cranked. SE blows 46.8 percent of the time, with strong 20-40kph pulses, and ideal wind drops to 33 percent. Surface conditions become more of a battle, especially on the biggest days. Rainfall is at an annual low of 3.53mm/day, air temps are 27.2C, and water has slipped to 28.7C. July is for the experienced; when the wind eases, the waves are world-class.
