Conditions at Supertubes in July
July: Midwinter Heavywater
July is peak winter at Supertubes. The average swell reaches 9ft (2.8m), the highest of the year, with an average period of 13.1s. SW (18.8 percent) and WSW (15.7 percent) are the main groundswell directions, and W adds 4.3 percent. Although direct N/NW swell remains limited, the strong WSW/W component provides plenty of power for the northwest-facing reef. A significant share of waves exceed 8ft (2.5m), especially from the SW and WSW directions, so this is not a month for the faint-hearted on bigger days.
Wind quality remains the wildcard. The W/WNW/NW/NNW wind directions combine for around a third of the wind rose, and ideal offshore conditions stay at 17 percent. The saving grace is that the S/SSW/SW/WSW sector still adds up to around 30 percent of the wind distribution, and those are the windows to chase. Air temps average 16.0°C (11.5-21.3°C), water temp falls to 18.2°C, and precipitation stays high at 3.82 mm/day. Bring the step-up board and a thick wetsuit.
