July: The Green Season Gem
If you only surf one month of the rainy season, make it July. The wind is ideal for surfing a remarkable 79% of the time - the best month of the entire year - as the NE trades re-strengthen (NE 18.9%, ENE 22.7%, E 11.8%) and blow away much of the wet-season slop. The swell remains strong, with SSW supplying 79.8% of the energy and an S component of 11.2% adding extra southern-hemisphere flavor. Average heights hold at 1.5m (4.9ft) with a 13.5s period, so the lineup is full, powerful and surprisingly clean. Rain eases to 4.32mm/day, which counts as a tropical dry spell, and water temps sit at 29.0°C. July is one of those rare green-season months where you get long-period South Pacific swell and offshore trades on a regular basis.
