July: Midwinter Consistency
July is right in the meat of the Brazilian winter and remains one of the most reliable months for Ipanema. Average height is 1.4m (4-5ft), average period 10.8s, and S/SSE/SSW swells continue to dominate the background: S 29.2 percent, SSE 21.1 percent and SSW 11.1 percent. The trade-wind component from ESE/SE is a bit stronger than in June, but the wind is still ideal 61 percent of the time, meaning plenty of dawn patrols with offshore N/NNE flow and clean, glassy faces. Water temperature cools to 21.7°C, air sits at 20.7°C, and it is the driest part of the year with 1.61 mm/day of rain. July may not have the single biggest swells of the year, but it is hard to beat for week-in, week-out surfability.
