Conditions at Kate's in July
July: The SSE Machine Starts Pumping
July is where the season turns serious. The swell rose shows SSE at 30.6% and S at 31.4%, with a healthy share of SSW (14.3%) and SW (9.2%). For Kate's, the SSE component is the key, and it combines with an average period of 9.3s-the longest of the year-to produce proper, organized secondary swell. On the wind front, W (25.7%) and WNW (22.5%) dominate, pushing ideal-wind frequency to 51%. This is a recipe for clean, punchy surf in the 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) range, with better pulses reaching head-high. It is not the biggest month of the year, but it is one of the most consistent and surfable. Water is 29.1°C and air 27.8°C in classic tropical monsoon conditions.
