Conditions at Quepos in July
July: Consistent but Wind-Affected Surf
July holds the swell size at 1.3m (4.3ft) with a 13.4s period, keeping the energy strong and organized. The direction is overwhelmingly SSW (91.2%), and around 20% of the waves fall in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range. This is a very consistent month in terms of wave height and period, making it one of the more reliable swells of the year.
The main issue continues to be the wind, as ideal conditions slip to just 22% - the joint lowest of the year. Onshore S/SW/WSW winds blow for more than half the time, often accompanied by heavy tropical downpours (7.65mm/day). Air temps are a little lower at 25.9°C, but the water stays at 29.0°C. Patience is the name of the game: the surf is out there, just hidden beneath bumpy conditions.
