July: Trade Swell and Troughed-Up Days
July stays locked in the trade wind pattern with an ideal wind score of 63%. ESE (30.1%) and SE (19.4%) winds dominate, keeping the surface clean and offshore. The swell average is still just 2-3ft (0.8m) with the shortest average period of the year at 7.6s. Swell directions have shifted further east compared to June, with ENE at 44% and E at 27.3%, meaning more shadowed and shorter-period lines at Pikinini. Still, the constant offshore breeze keeps the waves racy and rippable when they wrap into the bay. Water temp dips slightly to 29.4C and rain picks up to 8.1 mm/day, so expect tropical downpours between sunny windows. It is a small-wave month, but the quality of clean surfaces remains high.
