Conditions at Taronui Bay in July
July: Maximum Swell, Fickle Clean
July leads the year in raw swell size - the average pushes to 1.4m (4-5ft) - and the N/NNW/NW/NNE directional share holds at 29%. Periods are 8.9s, so it is punchy rather than long, and the wind rose is firmly locked into WSW (12.3%) and W (12.2%) with a generous chunk of WNW (9.9%). That means the bay is frequently raked by cross/onshore winds, and the ideal wind percentage bottoms out at 22%. You need a solid high-pressure system parking to the south to pull in a bonafide offshore SSW/S flow and turn those NNW/NW storm swells into waves with shape. Water sits at 15.4°C and winter has fully arrived.
