Conditions at Yumuri in July
July: The Trade Wind Machine Maxes Out
July gives the wave height average a slight bump to 3ft (0.9m), but it is a classic trade wind mirage. The swell is overwhelmingly ENE, with a massive 85% of all observations coming from that single direction. Periods remain a weak 6.0s, and while 31% of the month sees 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf, almost all of it is windswell generated by the very same ENE winds that make conditions bumpy. Those winds are relentless: ENE accounts for 60% of all wind observations, with a large share blowing 20-40kph. That means a north-facing beach like Yumuri is exposed to constant side-shore/onshore energy, leaving the surf sectioned and lumpy. Offshore S/SW flow drops to just 7%, so clean sessions are scarce. Water temperature is 27.7°C, air temps sit at 27.9°C, and rainfall is 1.63mm/day. If you have to surf, bring a groveler and pick a semi-sheltered corner.
