July: The Smallest Month of the Year
July is the absolute bottom of the surf curve. Average swell height remains at 1.0m but the period drops to 6.7s - the shortest of the year - resulting in weak, choppy, short-period waves. The directional signal is extraordinary: ENE accounts for 68% of all swell, with most of it in the 1-1.5m range (40%) and 0.5-1m (25%). E swell adds another 26%. These are pure trade windswell lines, the kind that need help from tides and sandbars to offer a rideable bank.
The good news is offshore winds dominate 87% of the time, with ENE (37%) and E (27%) prevailing. Air and water temperatures are almost identical at 28.3°C and 28.6°C, while rainfall increases to 3.12 mm/day. The wave quality is clean but small - bring a groveler and enjoy the tropical vibe.
