Conditions at Perkins in July
July: Deep Summer Grovel
Mid-summer and the trade-wind slop is in full force. Average height stays around 1.5ft (0.5m), but period ticks back up to 8.0s. ESE becomes the primary swell direction at 44.7%, with E close behind at 36.6%-the directional exposure is actually great for Perkins, but the energy is almost entirely below 3ft (0.9m). Clean offshore winds are scarce at 9%; most days blow onshore from E/ESE/SE, backed by sea breeze and tropical moisture. Water temps peak toward their summer max at 28.1°C, air temp 27.4°C, and precipitation is heavy at 5.82mm/day. If there is a silver lining, it is that any passing tropical wave can produce a sudden, powerful ESE/ENE pulse and turn otherwise gutless summer surf into something worthwhile. You just have to be patient and ready to move.
