Conditions at La Chiesa in July
July: Summer Doldrums
July is the flattest month alongside August, with average swell just 0.5m (1.5ft) and the shortest periods of the year at 4.3s. The swell rose is brutally west-dominated: W (39.2%) and WNW (16.2%) are the main directions. Southern quadrant swell is scarce, adding less than 10% combined (S 6.4%, SSE 2.9%). Onshore winds dominate with WSW (10.7%) and W (13.5%) on the afternoon seabreeze; offshore NNW and NW total about 20% but are mostly light. Water reaches 24.2°C and air averages 25.1°C. The surf is rideable only on the smallest of logs, and even then the short, crumbly windswell rarely offers a face of more than a foot or two. This is the season to do anything but surfing.
