July: Cold Water, Chunky Southern Groundswell
July holds onto the winter peak with an average swell height of 1.9m (6.2ft) and a 12.8s period. The swell mix shifts a bit: SSW still leads at 70%, but due S grows to 17.6% and SW contributes 4%. This means more energy from slightly farther east in the swell window, which can create a bit more texture and variation in the lineup. The size distribution remains excellent, with around 76% of waves in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range and a healthy 27% in the 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) class. When the bigger sets roll through, Caballeros gets heavy.
Winds are the most southerly of the year: S blows 38.2% of the time, SSW 39.9%, and SW 11.0%. Ideal offshore wind drops to 3%, so clean sessions are rare and usually occur in the early morning.
