Conditions at Mabuntok in July
July: Small, Clean and Frustrating
July is the deep tropical lull. Average swell height bottoms out at around 1.5ft (0.5m) and the period sits at 9.0s. The swell directional distribution is broad but weak: E leads at 41.4 percent, ENE follows at 25.5 percent, and ESE/SE supply another 16.6 percent. For Mabuntok, that is an east-heavy mix that is far from optimal for an NNE-facing beach. The good news is that Habagat winds from S, SSW, SW and WSW combine to keep ideal offshore flow at 29 percent, and the NE/ENE onshore winds are reduced to under 8 percent. In practical terms this means tiny, clean, glassy mornings with 1-2ft (0.3-0.6m) waves - beautiful to look at, hard to surf well. The one wildcard is tropical cyclones; a passing typhoon can inject a short, disorganized pulse of ENE/NE swell, although the accompanying winds usually make it messy. Air temperatures are steady at 27.7°C, water is a warm 29.4°C, and rain drops to 7.0 mm/day.
