Conditions at Peahi-Jaws in July
July: Flat, Choppy and Dormant
July is the absolute low point at Peahi. The average swell height remains 4ft (1.3m), but the period drops to 8.8s-weak, short-period windswell. ENE swell makes up a staggering 62.8% of the spectrum, with E another 27.9%. There is virtually no N, NW or NNW swell energy, and the exposure that makes Jaws spectacular in winter leaves it starved in summer. Trades dominate harder than any other month: E wind blows 71.9% of the time and ideal offshore wind is just 10%. The surface is bumpy, the reef is quiet, and only a rare southerly wind window could make the small easterly swell look halfway rideable. Water temp sits at 25.7°C and rainfall stays low at 0.84mm/day.
