Conditions at Tiger Stripes in July
July: Peak Power, Peak Wind
July brings the biggest average swell of the year - 5.9ft (1.8m) - with a 10.8s period and a massive directional focus. SSE alone accounts for 67.4% of the energy, and combined with S swells it reaches over 92%. This is pure Southern Ocean groundswell, with a vast majority of waves in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range and some 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) bombs. Yet the monsoon remains in full force, and ideal wind is only 25%. SE/SSE/S onshore winds make up a large chunk of the surface flow, while SW/WSW/W winds add cross/onshore texture. The result is a powerful, challenging Tiger Stripes - one for experienced surfers who know how to find the protected corner when a NW breeze finally takes the skin off the surface. Water temp is 29.4°C, air temp 27.8°C, and rain averages 5.33mm/day.
