Conditions at Backyards in July
July: Dog Days of Short-Period Windswell
July is typically the weakest month of the year for this stretch of coast. Average swell holds at 5.6ft (1.7m), but the period bottoms out at 7.8s - right around the threshold of average, punchy conditions. The swell is overwhelmingly ENE at 64.5% and E at 27.8%, with only a trace of N or NNW energy. The trade wind regime is near-constant, with ENE and E winds making up 94.4% of observations. True offshore flow from the S/SSW/SW/WSW sector is virtually zero, and ideal surfing wind is a lowly 9% - the lowest of the year. Surface conditions will rarely cooperate, leaving short, bumpy lines that need a low-tide sandbar and a lot of hope. Water temperature is a warm 25.9°C, air temperature 25.7°C, and rain averages 1.04mm/day.
