July: Steady Southern-Hemisphere Groundswell
July offers more of the same excellent summer pattern. SSW remains dominant at 92.7%, with SW at 5.1%, and the average period sits at 13.5s. The wind is ideal 66% of the time, with WSW and SW flows combining with light NNW winds to keep the surface workable. Wave heights are well distributed, with 43.6% at 0.5-1m, 44.2% at 1-1.5m, and 4.8% at 1.5-2m-so mostly chest-to-head-high fun with occasional firing sets. Air temperatures average 26.9°C, water temperature holds at 28.9°C, and rainfall is 10.14mm/day. The long-period SSW pulses may not be the ideal ENE/E/ESE/SE window, but the consistent push and clean wind make it one of the best months of the year.
