Conditions at Sao Pedro de Moel in July
July: Summer Grovel
July is the heart of the summer slump. The average swell height drops to 1.3m (4.3ft) with a period of just 8.7s - barely enough for a good ride. The swell direction is still from the west-northwest quadrant: NW at 50.4%, NNW at 31.1%, and WNW at 15.1%. However, the heights are mostly in the 0.5-1.5m (1.6-5ft) range, with only 10% reaching 1.5-2m (5-6.6ft) or better.
The wind is the real killer. Ideal wind is just 5% - the lowest of the year. NNW wind howls at 59.1%, with a whopping 29.9% in the 20-30kph range and 5.9% at 30-40kph. This relentless northerly wind makes the beach a wind farm. Offshore flow from E/ESE/SE/SSE is almost nonexistent (a combined 1.4%). Water temp holds at 17.8°C (64°F), and air temps average 20.9°C (70°F), with no rain. July is for taking a break or exploring sheltered spots away from the exposed beach.
