Conditions at Vanimo in July
July: Deepest Lull of the Year
July is the bottom of the seasonal curve at Vanimo. The average swell height bottoms out at 0.6m (2ft) and the average period falls to 7.5s, the lowest of the year. ENE dominates with 50.6% of the wave distribution and NE follows with 27.9%, but almost all of it is short-period, low-energy windswell. There are still the odd N and NNW pulses, but they are rare and small.
Ideal wind percentages drop to 41%, while persistent ESE, E and SE trade winds keep the surface bumpy and the quality inconsistent. Water temperature remains a pleasant 29.0°C, and air temps hold near 27.1°C. July is a patience month for Vanimo regulars, though a few clean corners still fire when the trades ease.
