July: Mid-Year Pulse
July is one of the hidden gems of the Caribbean summer. The average swell height holds at 1.2m (4ft), the wave period is the strongest of the year at 8.4s, and the NE sector accounts for a staggering 98.7 percent of the wave energy. The heart of the distribution sits in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range - 56.4 percent - with another 15.7 percent in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) class. This is proper trade-wind swell, right on the nose for a NE-facing beach. Wind is ideal 50 percent of the time, and the dominant NW/WNW/NNW flow helps keep the surface reasonably clean between wet-season squalls. Rain averages 9.55mm/day and water temperature is a balmy 28.6°C, so keep an eye on the radar but do not sleep on July.
