Conditions at The Point in July
July: Peak Trade-Swell Summer
July is the most extreme expression of summer trade-swell conditions. The average wave height remains small at 1.0m (3.3ft) and the period drops to its annual minimum of 6.7s. ENE swell absolutely dominates, accounting for 67.8 percent of all wave energy, with E adding another 26.5 percent. For surfers, this means the ocean is essentially full of windswell rather than true groundswell. It can be punchy and fun in short bursts, but it lacks the consistency and power of a longer-period groundswell.
Offshore winds remain steady, with ideal conditions 87 percent of the time. ENE winds contribute 37.0 percent and E winds 27.4 percent, so the Point is almost always blown clean by morning trade winds. Water temperature peaks at 28.6°C, air temps average 28.3°C, and precipitation is 3.12 mm/day. July is a longboarder's month, but an occasional summer storm or local windswell can still deliver playful waves to the right bank.
