Conditions at Canoes in July
July: The Peak Summer Lull
July is the lowest ebb of the surf year at Canoes. The ideal wind number bottoms out at 7% and the swell rose becomes a cartoon of the trade regime: E alone accounts for 44.1%, with ESE at 24.7% and SE at 11.9%, meaning a staggering 87% of all wave energy is arriving from the east and southeast. Average swell height still reads 5ft (1.5m), but those are mostly wind-driven, short-period waves (10.7s), and the S/SSW/SW/WSW sweet spot shrinks to a measly 2.0% - the lowest of the entire year. If you want quality at Canoes in July, you have to play the dawn card. Before the sun crests Diamond Head, the 30-40kph trades have not yet spun up, the surface turns to glass, and the E/ESE wrap-around swells turn into playful, waist-to-shoulder-high, fun waves. The water is a warm 26.1°C, air temps average 25.7°C, and precipitation is minimal at 1.04 mm/day. It is still summer, still beautiful, but do not expect heavy days.
