Conditions at Preciosa in July
July: Small, Clean and Mostly Easterly
July serves up more of the summer trade-swell regime. Average swell height is 1.3m (4.3ft) and period is 7.3s, so the energy is weak and short-period. Due E is the overwhelming swell direction at 87.1 percent, with ENE at 11.9 percent and NE a distant 0.3 percent - a clear sign that the North Atlantic winter storm track is completely shut off. The trade winds remain strong from the ESE (45.7 percent), E (32.4 percent) and SE (17.2 percent), though the ideal wind percentage sits at 33 percent. When the wind does go S/SSW/SW or goes light, the small surf cleans up into little peaky walls. Air temperature averages 27.7°C (22.9-34.3°C), water temperature is 27.9°C, and precipitation is 1.65mm/day. It is worth keeping an eye on the tropics: early-season hurricanes and tropical waves can inject unexpected pulses even in this slowest part of the year.
