July: Midwinter Power with Trade-Wind Chop
July remains a strong winter month, though the trade winds start to reassert themselves. Average swell is 1.8m (6ft) with a 9.4s period, and the S/SSE/SSW complex is still prominent: S 16.7%, SSE 12.8%, SSW 5.5%. The NE/E/ENE directions are also active, with ENE at 14.3% and E at 12.2%, giving the ledge a mix of groundswell and windswell. Wind data show NE at 21.3% and NNE at 18.2%, while SSW and SW combine for over 26%. Ideal wind drops slightly to 32%, but there are still plenty of offshore N/NW windows. The colder water (17.1°C) and air temperatures averaging just 16.7°C mean you will need a proper winter wetsuit. When the fronts align, July produces heavy, dredging waves on the slab, often in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range. Just be prepared to work around the NE sea breeze on the non-frontal days.
