Conditions at Playa Boca Chica in July
July: Warm Water, Strong S/SSW Swells, and a More Humid Mix
July keeps the southern hemisphere pulse going with an average swell height of 5ft (1.5m) and a 13.6s period. The S and SSW directions combined make up over 94 percent of the wave energy-amazing for Boca Chica's exposure. The offshore wind score rebounds to 51 percent, partly because the pressure gradient between the Pacific high and the continental heat low brings more frequent N/NNE/NNW flow. Still, this is the middle of the rainy season, with 6.38mm/day of precipitation, and water temperatures peak at 30.7°C. Wave heights are mostly in the 3-6ft (1-2m) range, with occasional bigger sets when tropical storms or southern hemi lows send pulses. Expect humid conditions, periodic downpours, and some genuinely fun surf if you can time it.
