Conditions at Lobitos in July
July: Consistent Size, Cooler and Rougher
July is essentially a carbon copy of June in size: 1.8m (6ft) average with a 13.5s period. SSW supplies 81.4% of the swell, while S-direction swell grows to 13.4%, showing the winter track pushing closer. The 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) class accounts for more than 65% of the total, so there is no shortage of raw energy. However, this is still primarily a south-hemisphere SSW groundswell, far from the N/NNW window that lights up Lobitos.
Wind quality drops to 47% ideal. Strong S/SSE/SSW winds are present nearly every day, with 20-30kph speeds the norm and a few 30-40kph pulses. Air temp is 21.2°C, water temp 20.0°C, and precipitation remains essentially nil. If you find a dawn window before the wind peaks, there are strong waves to be had - but you will have to work for them.
