Conditions at Encuentro in July
July: Pure East Windswell
July is very similar to June, with a slight bump in average height to 1.2m (4ft) but no improvement in period - still 7.2s. The wave rose is almost comical: 75% of the swell is pure east, with only 24% from ENE and almost nothing from NE or NNE. That puts Encuentro on the shoulder of the action; the more exposed points in the DR will see more, while this NNE-facing stretch lacks the directional focus to make the most of it. Wind is overwhelmingly E-ESE (74% combined), with a strong SE component too, and only 27% ideal wind. The surf is generally small, soft and wind-affected. Water is warm at 27.8°C, air temps average 27.6°C, and rainfall is moderate at 1.72 mm/day. If you are in the area, bring an egg board and chase the early morning tide.
