Conditions at Rabo de Peixe in July

July: Peak Summer Smallness

July is the epitome of low-season surf at Rabo de Peixe. Average swell height is a marginal 4ft (1.2m) and average period drops to 9 seconds. The 25.8% NNW and 16% NW swell frequencies are still there, but the height classes tell the story: most waves are in the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range, with very little overhead. Energy is short-period and wind-driven, not the powerful groundswell that makes this stretch of coast special. Wind is also a problem. Ideal offshore wind falls to just 24%, while onshore NNE (11.3%), NNW (14.3%) and NE (10.5%) run frequently. Water is warm at 22.0°C, air at 21.3°C, and precipitation is a mere 0.58 mm/day. If you are in the water, it is for the coastal beauty and a few grovels, not for world-class peelers.
