Conditions at Ninjas/Piddlies in July

July: Clean Westerlies, Misfired Swell

July continues the southwest monsoon pattern but with a slightly higher percentage of ideal offshore wind at 53%. The prevailing winds are W (26.4%), WNW (23.2%), WSW (18.2%) and NW (9.5%), which would be dreamy if any east swell were present. Instead, the swell distribution is dominated by S (17.9%), SSW (18.6%), SW (17.4%), WSW (18.8%) and W (15.3%). There is no ENE/E/ESE swell, and only the SSE sector adds a tiny 3.6%. Average height is 1.2m (3.9ft) and the period is 8.8s, so the ocean has energy, but it's aimed at the wrong coastline. Surf at Ninjas/Piddlies is usually shadowed, softer and less consistent; the rare windows arrive with a southeast turn in the swell direction. Air temps average 27.8°C, precipitation is 5.63mm/day, water temp is 29.1°C - tropical, humid, but low expectations for wave quality.
