July: The Cleanest Southern Swell Window
July brings the highest percentage of clean, ridable conditions so far. The ideal-surf statistic reaches 19%, and the wind distribution is almost tailor-made for offshore surf: NW at 33.8%, NNW at 19.1%, WNW at 15.6%. Swell remains small - 0.5m average - but 26.9% of the SSW energy falls into the 0.5-1m range, giving plenty of 2-3ft (0.6-1m) grovelers. The period backs down slightly to 11.0s, but it still qualifies as rideable. Rain is heavy at 6.41mm/day, and water temperature is a balmy 29.1°C. This is the month for surfers who love small, clean, warm tropical surf and don't mind the occasional downpour.
