Conditions at Bordeira in July
July: Flat, Blown Out, and Beautiful
July is the lowest point of the yearly surf cycle at Bordeira. The average swell height is 1.4m (4.6ft) and the period is a mushy 8.2s. Although the direction is still favorable - NNW at 46.5% and NW at 43.9% - the waves lack both size and push, with most energy sitting between 1-1.5m (3-5ft) and a good portion even smaller.
Wind is brutal from a surf perspective: only 5 percent ideal offshore flow. The NNW wind blows an astonishing 64.6% of the time, with NW adding another 13.2%. This constant summer wind chops up the shallow sandbars and makes most days look like white-capped washing machines. Water temp is warm at 18.2°C, air temp averages 21.3°C and rain is nearly zero at 0.04mm/day. If you are in the water in July, it is probably not for high-performance surfing.
