Conditions at Waikiki Beach in July
July: Deepest Summer Lull
July represents the lowest point of the surf year for this exposed stretch. Average heights are still 5ft (1.5m) on paper, but the average period falls to 10.7 seconds, and the directional spread is locked into the easterly quadrant: E 44.1%, ESE 24.7%, SE 11.9%, ENE 10.8%, SSE 6.3%. There are no observations of N, NW, or NNW swell. This is pure trade-wind swell, generated by strong, persistent easterly flow over the North Pacific.
The wind data is brutal for surf quality. ENE winds blow 87.1% of the time, with 49.8% of all observations at 30-40kph. Ideal offshore S/SSW/SW winds occur just 3% of the time, the lowest of the year. Expect bumpy, windy, less organized conditions and heavily wind-affected surfaces. Air temperatures are warm at 25.7°C, water 26.1°C, precipitation 1.04mm/day. Surfers should save their energy for a tropical system passing nearby or a rare breakdown of the trades.
