Conditions at Manangat in July
July: Bigger Monsoon Pulses, Heavy Rain
July continues the southwest monsoon pattern with average heights at 3ft (0.9m) and periods at 7.0s. The swell rose remains dominated by SW at 43.4 percent and WSW at 34.0 percent, and there are more 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6ft (1.5-2m) lines than in June. Some 6-8ft (2-2.5m) sets appear on the SW lobe, so the size is beginning to pick up.
Wind remains the limiting factor. SSW wind is recorded 27.8 percent of the time and S wind another 21.6 percent, meaning onshore flow dominates. Ideal wind remains scarce at 11 percent, precipitation peaks at 16.36mm per day, and the water stays around 30.3°C with air temperatures of 25.8°C.
July is a month of stormy, wild surf. The wave direction is right for Manangat, but the wind direction is wrong; sessions are likely to be lumpy and difficult unless the monsoon trough shifts and a north-angled wind takes a turn. For the dedicated local, the biggest swells of the typhoon season are now on the table, but quality is reserved for the rare lull.
