Conditions at Pichilemu in July
July: Deep Winter Swell
July is winter's core. The averages still read 1.7m (5.6ft) and 12.5s, and the swell distribution shows more SW energy at 25.3% alongside 49.1% WSW and 11.8% W. The percentage of 2-2.5m (6.6-8.2ft) waves stays high, and there are even bigger XXL outliers in the W/SW quadrant pushing past 2.5m (8.2ft). However, ideal wind only manages 62%, with NNE winds at 10.8% and NNW at 6.7% continually threatening the surface. The S and SSW wind quadrants are still strong at 16.2% and 14.3% respectively, so there are windows of clean, heavy surf; they just don't last as long as in summer. Air temperature drops to 9.5°C, water temperature falls to 12.3°C, but the rain eases slightly to 2.36mm/day. July rewards patience and a thick wetsuit.
