Conditions at Kuta Reef in July
July: Maximum Size, Strongest Trades
July is the heart of the dry season and statistically the biggest month: average swell height reaches 2.2m (7-8ft) with a 14.4s period. S (33.3%), SSW (35.2%) and SSE (9.0%) swells pile into the region, and a large portion of the spectrum sits in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range, with over 2.5m (8ft) waves occasionally appearing. The catch is wind. ESE dominates at 59.7%, and SE adds another 29.7%, but a significant amount of that flow blows at 20-40kph, dropping ideal wind to 47%. When a lighter SE morning breeze aligns with a falling SSW swell, Kuta Reef can be thick, heavy and perfect; later in the day the afternoon trades can make it lumpy. Rainfall is minimal at 1.09mm/day, air temps are coolest around 23.5°C, and water temp drops to 27.1°C.
