July: Mid-Winter Muscle With Southeast Flavor
July remains deep in prime time. The average period is 10.7s, the swell height 1.7m, and 54% of the time the wind is offshore. S (24.6%) and SSE (16.9%) again dominate, while E (13.7%) and ESE (12.2%) supply more on-the-nose swell for the east-northeast exposure. There's also a healthy dose of 2-2.5m waves from the S direction.
Wind directions are very winter-like: WNW (13.2%), NW (9.4%), NNW (9.1%), SW (8.6%) and W (5.5%) combine to groom the straight lines. The onshore NE/ENE combo shrinks to 15.4%, so most days have at least a clean morning session.
Air temp averages 20.0°C, water temp is a cool 21.8°C, and rainfall is only 1.43mm/day. Summer layers are mandatory, but the waves are worth it.
