Conditions at Maraa in July

July: Deep-Winter Grind

July keeps Maraa firmly in the big-wave bracket, with average height at 7.5ft (2.3m) and periods around 12.3 seconds. The swell directions are favorable enough - S at 21 percent, SSW at 16 percent, and SW near 3 percent - but there is a strong undercurrent of SSE and SE energy. That can create an uneven, cross-eyed ocean and make the lineup less organized at this southwest-facing reef.

Winds are the limiting factor. Ideal conditions drop to just 24 percent, the lowest of the year, with ESE at 26 percent and SE at 12 percent adding persistent cross-shore texture. The saving grace is the dry season: rainfall is only 1.6 mm/day, air temps are a mild 25.2°C, and water is 26.6°C. For the committed charger, early dawn-patrol windows can still deliver heavy S and SSW sets between trade surges.
