Conditions at Boca Barranca in July
July: Micro-Swell Central
July continues the wet-season pattern. The average period holds at 14.2s, but the average height remains fixed at 0.3m (1ft). The swell compass is almost monochromatic: SSW (76.3%), S (12.7%), and SW (9.7%) account for nearly all energy, while the favourable W/WNW/NW/WSW windows sit at a tiny 0.5%. A barely-there 0.5-1m signal from SSW (0.5%) and S (0.3%) is the only hint of life.
Winds are split between southerly trades and offshore easterlies: SE/ESE/E/ENE combine for 22.6% of the rose, and the bad westerly onshore flow totals 8.7%. Ideal wind is 1% of the time, all of which is useless with waves this small. Expect warm, humid conditions-26.9°C air, 29.3°C water, 4.06 mm/day of rain-and a lot of longboard waiting for a set that just isn't there.
