Conditions at Mada's in July
July: Peak Monsoon Power, Peak Wobble
July is the heart of the southwest monsoon, with the swell rose showing maximum southern alignment. SSE swell jumps to 37.8% and S swell 31.4%; combined, a huge 69.2% of wave energy arrives from the two best directions for Mada's. SSW adds 17.0% and SW 7.9%. Average height holds at 4.3ft (1.3m), with a meaningful chunk in the 1-1.5m class and occasional 1.5-2m sets. Periods peak for the year at 7.3s, making this the most powerful, rideable swell window of the monsoon.
Yet the wind record is mixed. West/southwest flow dominates, with W 16.6%, WSW 15.4% and SW 11.0%, while the offshore N/NNW/NW/WNW quadrant comes to 21.4%. Ideal wind is at 42%, and onshore ESE/SE/SSE/S flow totals 22.8%, so a large share of days will have raw, bumpy conditions. Rain averages 5.02mm/day, air temp eases slightly to 27.8°C, and water temp remains a warm 29.4°C. July is a month of raw potential at Mada's: the swell is there, but the wind window is often short, so you have to be ready to strike when the WNW/NW flow cleans it up.
