July: Big South Pulses and Cross-Shore Winds
July continues the Southwest Monsoon regime with an average swell height of 1.8m (6ft) - the biggest month of the year in terms of raw size. Periods remain solid at 11.2s, and there's no shortage of energy. The caveat is direction: a staggering 84% of the swell arrives from SSE and S, with only 14% coming from the preferred SSW-SW-WSW-W directions. This means Gaukendi Bridge is getting mostly wrap-around swell, which can still produce fun waves but lacks the perfection of a direct SW groundswell. Wind statistics are a mixed bag - ideal offshore winds are 34%, the best of the monsoon season, but the dominant directions are actually SE (17%), SSE (16%), and S (11%). So while there are more 'good wind' periods, they often coincide with the less favorable cross-shore flow rather than true offshore. Water temp is 29.4°C, air temps average 27.8°C, and rainfall is high at 5.78 mm/day. Look for sudden east or NNE wind shifts after tropical squalls - those are the moments that light up the reef.
