Conditions at Molhe Leste in July
July: The Grovel Season
July is the slowest month of the year. Swell averages just 1.5m (5ft) with a short 8.6s period, and an overwhelming 52.4% of the wave energy comes from the NNW, with another 31.7% from the NW. The old, wind-driven summer sea produces weak, lined-up but sloping waves that are more suited to grovelers and longboards. Wind is consistently strong from the NNW-62.9%-which keeps the surface clean but further angles the swell. It is still surfable, especially on a summer longboard, but don't expect winter-grade power. Air temps peak around 19.4°C, water a pleasant 18.1°C, and rain is almost zero.
