July: The Trade-Wind Slop Machine
The doldrums persist in July, but the wind becomes even more easterly. Average swell height is 0.5m and period 8.0s, with an ideal wind frequency of just 10%. The swell direction distribution peaks hard out of the ESE at 44.7% and E at 36.6%, with most observations below 0.5m or barely scraping 1m. This is textbook trade-wind windswell: short, steep, disorganized and almost always chopped. Wind observations show ESE (13.9%) and SE (13.2%) leading the pack, plus a large chunk of S to SSW flow at 10-11% each; while some of that SW flow is technically offshore, it is usually too light to overcome the continuous easterly sea state. Water temperature is a bath-like 28.1°C, and rainfall stays high at 5.82mm/day. The one silver lining is that the tropical Atlantic is now primed, and a well-tracked hurricane or tropical wave can briefly inject longer-period energy into an otherwise flat, drifty month.
