July: Tropical Swell Season Peaks With Sticky, Stormy Air
July keeps the southern hemisphere tap running, with average surf heights at 5ft (1.5m) and a 13.5-second swell period. The swell window becomes even broader: S and SSW combine for 92 percent of the energy, and 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) waves are common - SSW alone puts 25.7 percent of its energy into that category. Occasional 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) sets remind you how much power is in the water.
Wind quality improves modestly to 38 percent ideal, as the N/NE flow rebuilds to around 26 percent, but the onshore S/SW flow still accounts for 45 percent. Rain picks up further to 5.40mm/day, air temperature averages a warm 27.0°C, and water temperature peaks into the 30.6°C range. July is classic wet-season surf: tropical, humid, and occasionally firing if a storm passes north and drags in offshore north wind. Otherwise, expect warm, textured conditions and smaller crowds because the surface isn't cooperating.
