Mid-July is statistically the least amount of wind. Earlier and you'll run into more rain, later and the odds of tropical storm or hurricane are higher. An early morning crossing is often flat calm, BUT if wind is out of
any northern quadrant, stay the hell out of the Gulf Stream! If crossing to the Abaco's (much longer trip), in my experience you can generally figure on a rougher trip in 2' square waves (2' high x 2' apart!) across the Little Bahama Bank than crossing the Gulf Stream!
