Conditions at Figueira Foz in July
July: Peak Summer Flatness
July is the slowest month of the year for consistent surf. Average swell height bottoms out at 1.3m (4ft) with a low-period 8.7s, and the direction is almost entirely from the north: NW (50 percent) and NNW (31 percent) dominate, leaving only 15 percent from the favourable WNW window. With ideal offshore wind at just 15 percent and NNW gusts blowing 50 percent of the time, most waves are chopped up by onshore and sideshore conditions. Occasionally a late-season W or WNW pulse will sneak through, but this is summer longboard territory. Air temperatures average 20.9°C, water stays at 17.4°C and precipitation is nearly non-existent at 0.28 mm/day. The best chance for a clean wave is early in the morning before the north wind kicks in.
