Conditions at Shitovaya in July
July: Peak Monsoon, Peak Flatness
July is the heart of the summer doldrums. The swell direction data still points overwhelmingly out of the south-S 44.7%, SSE 24.9%, SE 18.1%-but those percentages are a mirage: almost all energy sits in the micro to 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) categories, with a 5.5s average period and no push. Wind stats are an onshore disaster: SSE 25.8%, S 21.7%, SE 16.5% combine to blow directly against the surf. Only 5% of the time does the wind work favorably, often early morning before the sea breeze switches onshore. Water is 18.7°C and air averages 19.5°C, so the beach is pleasant for swimming, not surfing. Monthly rainfall climbs to 4.33mm/day, and a passing tropical rainband is about the only thing that will put a bump in the water.
