Conditions at Poro Point in July
July: Building Power, Wasted by Onshores
July is a study in frustration. The optimal SSW-to-W window swell is present: WSW 41.4%, SW 24.3%, W 8.9%, SSW 7.0%. Average height climbs to 0.8m (2.5ft) and the period lengthens to 6.8s. Yet ideal wind plummets to 8%. Wind roses show SSE (20.3%) and S (20.2%) onshore breezes dominating, with SSW (12.0%) and SW (8.0%) piling on the mess. This is the peak of the rainy season, with 19.20 mm/day, while water temps hover at 30.2°C. On the rare mornings with an offshore N/NNE flow - especially after a South China Sea typhoon passes - Poro Point can actually be fun, with 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) clean peaks. Most days, though, the wave shape is destroyed by wind. You need patience and a flexible wake-up time.
