July: Peak Summer Doldrums, Small and Soft
July is the absolute low point for swell size and period: 1.0m (3ft) and just 6.7s. The swell distribution is almost entirely ENE (67.8%) and E (26.5%), making it essentially windswell with no punch. The winds are ideal 84% of the time, with ENE and E trade winds dominating (ENE 37.0%, E 27.4%).
The sea is warm at 28.6°C, air at 28.3°C, and precipitation increases to 3.12 mm/day. For Domes, this is the classic summer flat spell - small, soft and closeout-y. Only a hurricane swell could rescue it, but that comes with its own roughness.
