Conditions at Cacimba do Padre in July
July: Picking Up in Size, Losing in Quality
July's average swell height ticks up to 6.2ft (1.9m), but nearly 68 percent of that energy arrives from the SE. The ESE and SSE sectors add another 29 percent, leaving no usable N/NNW/NW swell in the spectrum. Average period drops to 9.6s, so the waves are more wind-swell than true groundswell. The trade wind is relentless: ideal wind frequency plummets to 8 percent, with SE winds blowing 20-40kph frequently. For the NNW-facing beach, this means a lot of raw ocean energy surfacing as walled-up, wind-blown lines that are difficult to surf cleanly. Only a rare southerly offshore flow or a serious drop in wind strength would make July worthwhile. Water temps cool slightly to 27.1°C, air temps around 25-28°C, and rainfall is modest at 2.19 mm/day.
