July: Peak Southern Swell, Hard to Catch Clean
July keeps the average swell height at 1.0m (3.3ft) with a period of 13.0s. The direction is strongly biased to the SSW (86%) and SW (14%), and about 33% of the waves reach 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft), with a few bigger pulses. However, the wind remains the limiting factor. Ideal wind is only 15%, and W, WNW and WSW directions together make up nearly 60% of the wind distribution. Rain averages 8.73mm/day and the air is a warm 26.9°C with water temperature 28.6°C. July can produce pumping, long-period south swell, but you will usually have to work around morning offshore breezes or wait for a passing system to clear the onshore flow.
