Conditions at Furadouro in July
July: The Azores High Locks In
July is the bottom of the wave-energy curve. Average swell height is 3ft (0.9m) and period is 8.8s - the shortest average of the year. The direction is dominated by NW (51.8%) and WNW (40.8%), but these are almost entirely small, short-period swells generated by local north winds rather than Atlantic storms. Ideal wind drops to 8%, the lowest of the year, with the wind rose showing a staggering 49.6% from the NNW. Water temperature holds at 17.3°C, air temps average 20.1°C, and rain is nearly zero at 0.41 mm/day. This is the true flat spell; longboards, SUP sessions, and dawn patrol are the only games in town.
