Conditions at Taapuna in July
July: Midwinter Grind, Few Glassy Windows
July continues the winter trend with an average swell height of 2.0m (6-6.5ft) and an average period of 12.6s. The wave rose is still dominated by S, SSE and SSW swells, with only a tiny amount of SW/W/WNW energy available for the west-facing reef. Wind conditions become the biggest obstacle: the E and ESE trades blow strongly and frequently, with many observations in the 20-40kph range, and ideal surfing wind drops to its yearly low at 24 percent. When the wind eases, usually in the early morning, the southern groundswell can still produce heavy, demanding waves, but the consistency at Taapuna is poor. Water temperature falls to 26.6°C, and July is one of the driest months with just 1.6mm/day of rain.
