July: Tropical Swell Season Begins
July brings a noticeable uptick in ideal wind to 45 percent, offering more hope after June's flat-onshore spell. Average wave height holds at 3ft (0.9m) with a strong average period of 13.7s. The swell is split between SSW (48.5 percent) and SW (49.4 percent) - nearly perfect angles for Playa del Borrego. This is also the time of year when eastern Pacific tropical storms and early hurricanes can send extra-long-period swell pulses up the coast. Windwise, the regime becomes less dominated by strong W flow: W drops to 11.3 percent and WNW to 10.7 percent, while more N through NE flow returns to the mix, boosting the offshore potential. Rainfall cranks up to 9.39mm/day, and water temperature reaches 30.6°C. Air temps sit at 25.7°C. It is an inconsistent month, but when a hurricane rotates far enough offshore and the winds align, the surf can jump to pumping 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) or more.
