July: Maximum Trade Wind Punch, But Wrong Angle
July is statistically the biggest month of the year at Daugo, with an average swell height of 1.5m (5ft) and periods of 7.3s. There is real size in the water: 34 percent of the SSE/SE swell is in the 1-1.5m class, 26 percent in the 1.5-2m class and close to 9 percent in the 2-2.5m range. But 98 percent of that energy comes from SSE/SE, and the SE wind blows 76.4 percent of the time, with more than a quarter of readings above 30kph. The result is a raw, heavily wind-blown ocean even though the wind direction is technically offshore. The ideal-wind percentage drops to 22 percent.
The dry season is fully established: only 0.74mm/day of rain, air temps near 25.8C and water temp down to 25.7C. July has power, but patience is needed to find the rare window when the wind eases and the SSE angle lines up with Daugo's reefs.
