July: Cleaner Air, Less Swell
July marks the cleanest wind month of the year so far, with ideal offshore wind reaching 24%. The trade wind relaxes significantly: NNE drops to 36%, with NE 23%, N 11% and a meaningful increase in lighter E/SE winds. The trade-off is that swell averages only 1.5m (5ft) at 8.0s and the direction is hopelessly NNE at 84%. Wave heights cluster around 1-1.5m (3-5ft) and 1.5-2m (5-7ft), making for glassy, small summer surf. Palmeira is more playful than powerful, and the clean windows can be great for logs and grovelers. Air temperature is 24.2°C, water 24.6°C.
