Conditions at Beliche in July

July: The Dog Days

July is the slowest month of the year for wave size and quality at Beliche. Average swell height is only 4.5ft (1.4m), and the period bottoms out at 8.2s, meaning the energy is short-period, wind-swell-dominated and often lumpy. The wave rose is split between NNW (46.5%) and NW (43.9%), with a near-total absence of S, SW or WSW swell. The wind field is brutal: NNW winds blow 68.2 percent of the time, often in the 30-40kph range, while ideal N/NE offshore conditions occur just 18 percent of the time. Water temperature is 18.3°C, air temperature averages 21.3°C, and rain is nearly absent at 0.04mm/day. Only the earliest hours of the day offer a realistic chance of clean surf, and even then you are hunting for sandbar peaks on small, windy swell.
