Conditions at Las Gatas in July
July: Peak Tropical Swell and Clean Morning Sessions
July continues the summer rhythm with an average swell height of 1.4m (4.6ft) and a long 13.6s period. The wave rose is very SSW-heavy: 71.5% from SSW, 23.1% from S, 4.0% from SW, and 1.0% from SSE. The height distribution shows a broad peak in the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) range (47.1% of the month), with solid chunks of 1.5-2m (4.9-6.6ft) and some 2-2.5m (6.6-8.2ft) energy from the S direction. The east Pacific hurricane machine is firing, sending long-period groundswell up the coast.
Ideal offshore wind climbs to 42% in July. The dominant wind directions are ESE (8.9%), SE (11.7%), SSE (6.8%), WNW (11.4%), W (9.5%) and NW (9.8%), but the key difference from winter is the regularity of light offshore flow in the mornings. Water temperature peaks at 30.7°C, air temperatures are summer-warm at 26.1°C, and precipitation is tropical at 5.75mm/day. Surfers who paddle out early will find lined-up reef peaks in warm bathwater; the late afternoons are often bumpy with sea breeze.
