Conditions at Shivas in July
July: Peak Monsoon - Maximum Size, Minimum Clean Windows
July is the heart of the rainy season and the biggest average swell month of the year at Shivas, with the average wave height reaching 2.5m (8ft+). The period sits at 10.5s, and the wave rose is extremely concentrated in the W/WSW quadrant: W (35.7%) and WSW (19.7%) produce relentless 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) to overhead-plus surf. If the wind were offshore, this would be world-class. Instead, the wind rose shows W (31.8%), WSW (26.6%), WNW (21.4%) and SW (7.9%) dominating, meaning the same storm system generating the swell is also destroying the surface. Ideal surfing conditions are at 3%, and rainfall peaks at 32.01 mm/day. Air temperature eases to 26.5°C and water temperature drops to 28.1°C as the monsoon cloud cover locks in. For all its size, the surf is mostly unruly.
