Conditions at Ikumi in July
July: Glassy Summer, Missing Groundswell
July offers the highest ideal wind percentage of the year at 47 percent. The monsoon flow from the SW (19.5 percent) and WSW (15.6 percent) blows offshore across Ikumi for much of the month, creating mirror-like surface conditions. Yet the swell calendar is still wrong. The dominant swell directions are S (31.2 percent), SSW (20.8 percent), SSE (23.5 percent), and SE (18.2 percent). The favourable ESE window barely registers (3.9 percent), and the optimal NE-ENE-E-ESE quadrant totals just 4.0 percent. The average height of 3.3ft (1.0m) and period of 8.1s suggest some energy, but it's arriving from the south, where the east-facing beach is not well exposed. This translates to mostly small, crumbly waves with little push, save for occasional days when a south-swell shears into the bay and produces a long, weak wall. Air temperatures are tropical (26.2°C), the sea is a bath-like 25.7°C, and precipitation remains high at 8.01 mm/day. If you're chasing clean summer mush, July can deliver, but advanced surfers will be frustrated.
