Conditions at Telescopes in July
July: Strong Trades and Raw South Swell
July is one of the most consistent months of the year. Ideal wind rises to 57%, with SE at 21% and SSE at 14% dominating the observations; the strong trades groom the surf better than any other season. Wave heights hold at 4-5ft (1.3m) with a 14.4-second period, and the south component grows to 28%, giving the swell a more raw, southerly flavor. Since Telescopes faces WNW, this means more refraction is required, but the combination of long period and steady offshore wind often turns it into an excellent, reeling reef wave. Air temps are a touch cooler at around 27.8°C, water temperature dips slightly to 29.5°C, and rainfall is low at 7.11 mm/day. If you want clean, powerful waves in Indonesia, July is a prime pick.
