Conditions at Bridges in July
July: Trade-Wind Machine on Full Blast
July at Bridges is dominated by the strengthening summer trade winds and a narrow swell window. Average swell height remains 0.7m (2.3ft), average period 6.2s. ESE swell is everywhere, accounting for 77.9% of all observations - the highest of the year - while SE adds 21.5%. The wave-height distribution is extremely consistent, with nearly 88% in the 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) class and only a sprinkling of 1-1.5m sets.
The wind pattern is robustly offshore from the ENE/E quadrant. ENE blows 45.8% of the time and E another 32.4%, with the strongest concentration in the 20-30kph bracket. This keeps the surf groomed, but the increased wind speeds lower the ideal-wind percentage to 46%. The combination of consistent trade windswell and reliable offshore flow means Bridges can be one of the more consistent lineups in the area, but the small-wave reality is hard to escape. Sea temperature is 28.6°C, air temperature 27.7°C, and afternoon tropical showers produce 3.51 mm/day of rain.
