July: Long-Period SSW Swell and the Best Windows of the Low Season
July remains squarely in the southwest monsoon, but it offers slightly better odds than May or June. The wind is ideal 16 percent of the time, and although WSW (15.4%) and W (18.0%) still blow onshore, there are more light/variable and E/ESE episodes that groom the break. On the swell side, it does not get much better: SSW (36.8%) and SW (29.7%) are the twin engines, with an average height of 1.5m (5ft), a 12.0s period, and a wide 1-2m (3-6.5ft) distribution that occasionally runs to 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft). This is the month within the low season most likely to produce a legitimately good 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) session at Malik's if you can catch the wind right. Water temperature is 29.3°C, air temperature is 27.8°C and rain averages 5.03 mm/day.
