Conditions at P-Land in July
July: Tropical Pulses, Onshore Winds, Rare Windows
July settles into the wet-season pattern. Average swell remains around 3-4ft (1.0m), period 13.0s, and the dominant SSW direction accounts for 86 percent of the energy. There are a few more solid 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) waves than in winter - a sign of increased tropical and southern-hemisphere storm activity in the Pacific. But again, the wind is the limiting factor. The ideal window is only 11 percent, with WSW/W/WNW winds totaling around 60 percent of the observations. Rain is heavy at 8.73mm/day, air temperatures hover near 27°C, and water remains very warm at 28.6°C. For the west-facing P-Land break, this means mostly wind-affected, onshore conditions. If you are flexible and can wait for one of those brief fresh easterly pulses, the underlying swell is actually fun-sized and long-period.
