July: Quality South Swell with Stronger Trades
July remains a good month for south swell, but the wind trade-off becomes more apparent. The optimal swell window still delivers a solid 49 percent of the wave rose, led by SSW at 27 percent, S at 13 percent, and SW at 9 percent. Average wave periods are a healthy 12.5s, and heights remain in the 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) zone, so the surf is generally clean, fun, and powerful when the afternoon breeze stays off.
However, the ENE trade wind strengthens again, reaching 68 percent of the time, with the strongest readings in the 20-40 kph range. This keeps ideal conditions at 17 percent, similar to April. The best action is early morning before the trades peak, or on the more protected corners. Water temp is 28.8°C, air 28.1°C, and rainfall eases a bit to 2.95 mm/day.
