July: Midwinter Consistency with a Southerly Bite
July keeps the average swell height at 4.3ft (1.3m) and the period at a solid 12.3s, but the wind ideal percentage slips to 75%. Swell direction becomes slightly more mixed: SSW is 81.7%, straight S is 15.8%, and SW adds 2.4%. The S component injects a little more south energy into the reef, often creating faster, more down-the-line sections, but it can also add extra water movement during bigger sets. In the distribution, 61.1% of the waves are in the 3.3-4.9ft (1-1.5m) band, 11.9% in 4.9-6.6ft (1.5-2m), and 0.1% reaches 6.6-8.2ft (2-2.5m).
The wind is almost pure south at 81.2% of all observations, with SSE 12.0% and SSW 6.7%. That keeps the point rideable but with a stronger cross-offshore element. Water is cooling to 17.7°C, air averages 20.0°C and rain is a negligible 0.09mm/day. July is dependable, powerful and a touch more demanding.
