July: South Swell Machine With a Wind Catch
July keeps the southwest monsoon pumping, with average swell height at 1.7m (5-6ft) and period at 11.2s. Swell direction is even more south-focused: SSE (43%) and S (41%) combine for 84% of all energy, producing plenty of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) surf and a significant 14% share in the 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) class. Winds are less reliable than earlier months; SE (11%) and SSE (13%) winds appear more regularly and can put a cross-onshore bump on the playing field. Still, WSW (11%), SW (10%), W (9%) and WNW (7%) give enough clean windows to keep the surf alive, with ideal conditions 41% of the time. Blue Bowls will be at its best when the swell holds some SSE and the wind is WSW-WNW; then it's an exciting, powerful reef with head-high walls. Rain increases to 5.52 mm/day and water temp eases to 29.4°C.
