Conditions at Jardins do Mar in July
July: The Dog Days of Summer
July is the smallest surf month of the year. The average swell height drops to 4.6ft (1.4m), and the average period bottoms out at 8.5s-on the choppy, short-period side of the spectrum. The wave rose is dominated by NNE (38.1%), NNW (30.6%), N (18.4%), and NW (7.5%); westerly and southwest swells are virtually absent from the statistics. The trade wind is relentless, with NNE at 47.2% and NE at 27.2%, yet the ideal wind window is still marked at 47%-mostly because any NNW/NW edge in the flow cleans things up. Water temperature warms further to 22.0°C, air temps average 21.8°C (min 19.2°C, max 26.1°C), and precipitation is at its annual minimum of 0.16 mm/day. Summer surfers will find small, grovelly, playful waves-fine for catching a few, but a far cry from the heavy winter grind.
