Conditions at Ataka in July
July: Small But Occasionally Fun
July remains in the doldrums, though a slight uptick in average height to 0.7m (2.3ft) and period 5.3s offers a little more than June. The swell direction mix shifts a bit: W becomes the single largest contributor at 18.2%, with WSW (10.7%) and SSW (8.0%) - but the W energy is mostly in the 0-1m range. NNW (11.7%) and NNE (13.4%) are also present.
Ideal surf time improves to 29%, and offshore E-ESE-SE-SSE flow is around 21%. The main issue remains the chronic shortage of swell height. When a tropical storm passes to the south, it can kick up a fun 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) wave, but it's inconsistent. Water temp is warm at 24.7°C (76°F), and air temps are summer-like.
