Conditions at Playa Rio Mar in July
July: Clean Offshore Winds and Consistent SSW Lines
July is arguably the most consistent month of the year at Playa Rio Mar. The swell rose shows 90.3 percent from the SSW, and when you add SW and S, the favorable southern quadrant approaches 96 percent. Average period is 12.5 seconds, so even the modest 2 to 3 foot (0.6 to 1m) swell lines hold their shape well. The wind data is even better: offshore NNW/NW flow accounts for over 60 percent of all wind, giving the spot an ideal-surf rating 72 percent of the time -- one of the highest of the year. The combination of southern long-period swell and clean offshore wind makes July a standout for small-wave surfing. Rain remains heavy at 7.77 mm/day, air temperatures average 26.4°C, and the water temperature is a bathtub-like 29.0°C. If you want a 2 to 3 foot (0.6 to 1m) longboard or groveler session with morning glass, this is your month.
