Conditions at El Faro in July
July: Southern Swell Holds Strong Through the Rain
July is a tale of two seasons. The surf remains consistent with an average height of 1.4m (4-5ft) and a 13.4s period. Swell direction shifts a little more southerly: SSW provides 65.5% while S jumps to 30.6%. This is good for El Faro, as the S/SSW window is exactly where this spot wants energy. Ideal wind improves slightly to 45%, but rainfall peaks in the wet season at 5.40 mm/day and water temperature reaches 30.2°C. The wind rose shows a more balanced mix of SSE/S/SW and N/NNE directions, meaning the morning offshore flow is less reliable than in winter. There are still clean, fun waves to be found, particularly on days when a NW/NNW breeze holds off the afternoon southerlies. Just expect a tropical, humid atmosphere and a lineup that can get bumpy by midday.
