Conditions at Tavira in July
July: Peak Summer Flatness
July ranks as the lowest-energy month of the year along with August. The average wave period bottoms out at 4.4 seconds, the swell height averages 1-2ft (0.5m) and ideal wind conditions only occur 7% of the time. The swell rose looks busy, with W at 19.9%, WSW at 15.9%, SE at 16.2% and WNW at 13.6%, but nearly every observation falls in the 0-0.5m and 0.5-1m classes; only a sliver of SE and WSW energy sneaks into the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range. The only real quality signal is wind: NNW blows an impressive 24.5% of the time and the total offshore N/NW/WNW sector reaches 42.5%, yet there is almost no open-ocean groundswell to groom. With air at 23.9°C, water at 20.5°C and precipitation of just 0.04mm/day, July is better spent exploring the Ria Formosa or punching the clock - the surf is mostly tiny, wind-blown texture.
