Conditions at Badoc Point in July
July: Rainy Season Slop
July is the heart of the wet season and one of the more frustrating months for a WNW-facing spot. Average swell is 3.5ft (1.1m), period 7.0s, and the swell direction remains trapped in the SW/WSW sector, with 44.7% from SW and 18.5% from WSW. The favorable NW/NNW window is still only around 9%, and what does arrive is generally too short-period to offer real power.
Wind reports show S (20.9%) and SSW (19.6%) dominating, ideal wind at 46%, and rainfall jumping to 13.82mm/day. Water is a warm 30.3 degrees Celsius. This is a wait-for-a-typhoon month. When a strong tropical system parks west of Luzon or drifts through the northern South China Sea, Badoc can see a brief pulse of W/NW swell with enough period to break cleanly. Between those pulses, conditions are often stormy, crumbly, and hard to read.
