Conditions at Cimaja in July
July: The Trade-Wind Grind
July is the peak of the Southern Ocean swell window, but also the trough of Cimaja's surfing quality. Average height reaches 1.9m (6ft) with a long 14.4s period, and S swell dominates at 58%, followed by SSW at 27% and SSE at 10%. The size distribution is outstanding on paper, with most waves falling between 1.5m and 2.5m (5-8ft). The catch: ideal wind sits at a dismal 8%. SE wind is the runaway leader at 37%, and ESE and SSE add more cross-onshore energy. That persistent trade flow puts a bumpy, lumpy texture on the surface and makes the waves hard to read. Every so often a synoptic break or overnight land breeze creates a clean slot, but the default is a wind-blown grind. Air temperature is 25.2°C, water temperature cools to 28.0°C, and rain is only 3.0 mm/day.
