July: Cold, Stormy, and Occasionally Firing
July keeps the winter momentum going with another 2.2m (7.2ft) average swell and a 12.2s period. Swell distribution is nearly identical to June, with SW at 25.8 percent, WSW at 22.1 percent, W at 10.1 percent, and useful WNW/NW energy at 5.0 percent and 2.7 percent respectively. The wind remains the weak link. Ideal wind is just 39 percent, while NNW (18.9%) and N/NNE/NW components combine for over 40 percent of the wind observations, many in the 20-40kph range. Those are decidedly onshore winds for this north-facing stretch. Water temperature hits the annual minimum at 11.3°C, precipitation is high at 5.28 mm/day, and the average air temp is only 10.2°C. If a cold front passes and the wind swings to S/SW on the back side, Punta Quidico can turn on and serve up powerful, heaving waves - but those windows are earned.
