July mirrors June with slightly steadier swell: west-coast rips are genuinely dangerous on red-flag days, so families should favour Rawai-side bays or pools. Between showers the island glows green. Phang Nga Bay tours (sheltered) run reliably; open-sea trips depend on the day.
FAQ
How warm is the sea in July?
Around 28°C — comfortable for long swims. On the west coast watch the flags: waves and rip currents are possible; sheltered southeast bays stay calmer.
How rainy is Phuket in July?
Roughly 17 days with rain. Tropical rain is intense but short, typically an hour or two, often at night; full washout days are uncommon.
Is July a good month to visit?
Mid-green-season: lush island, real waves on the west, respect the red flags.
