Conditions at Uluwatu in July
July: Peak Power, Stiff Trades
July lays down the biggest average surf of the year: 7ft (2.2m) with 14.4s periods. The swell direction is split between SSW (35.2%), S (33.3%) and SSE (9.0%), and the distribution skews heavily to 6-8ft (2-2.5m), plus 1.0% above 8ft (2.5m). This is XL-adjacent energy for Bali's reefs. The catch is the wind. ESE (61.3%) and SE (25.7%) rule, but the trades are at their strongest-ESE alone has 37.9% of all readings in the 20-30kph bracket-so ideal wind drops to 39%. Still, when the wind eases, Uluwatu is a legitimately world-class, heavy-wave venue. Air temps cool to 25.8°C, water drops to 27.1°C, and it is very dry at 1.03 mm/day.
