Conditions at Amoreira in July
July: Peak Summer Doldrums
This is the slowest month for serious surfing at Amoreira. Average surf heights are 4-5ft (1.4m) and the average period is only 8.4 seconds, the shortest of the year. The swell rose is extremely concentrated: NW accounts for 57.4 percent and NNW 33.1 percent, while WNW is reduced to 7.2 percent. This combination means mostly small, wind-driven, short-period swell. The wind statistics are brutal: ideal wind is only 7 percent of the time, and NNW wind blows a massive 56.8 percent, with NW another 17.9 percent. Most days are onshore, chopped and small. That said, early mornings can still produce clean waist-high waves before the sea breeze kicks in. Water temperature is warm at 17.3°C, air averages 22.8°C, and rain is almost nonexistent. This is a rest month or a time for longboard fun, not a strike mission.
