Conditions at Cloud 9 in July

July: Small, Clean, and Quiet

July is the heart of the Philippine southwest monsoon, and Cloud 9 is in its quietest phase. Average swell height holds at 2ft (0.7m), while the period drops to 8.4s-the lowest of the year. NE/ENE energy is still present but weakened, totaling about 40% of the swell direction, with W/WSW windswell appearing in the background as local monsoon pulses. Wind is actually the most reliable of the year at 50% ideal offshore flow, with S/SSW/SW and W winds blowing across the reef and keeping surfaces clean. If you are logging miles or learning the reef, the consistency is fun, but do not expect Cloud 9 to show its famous barrel. Air temperatures are 27.9°C, water 29.5°C, and precipitation is modest at 6.9mm/day.
