Conditions at Campelo in July
July: The Summer Lull Arrives
July is the slowest month of the year at Campelo. Average swell heights bottom out around 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m), average period is down to 8.8s, and the ideal offshore wind frequency is at its annual minimum of 18%. The dominant directions are NW (28.8%), WNW (24%) and NNW (20.9%), all offering mostly 0.5-1.5m waves with short-period, mushy character. The wind pattern is the big issue: NE (20.2%) and NNE (12.9%) pump through the afternoon, usually onshore or cross-shore, while light SSW/SW morning windows are rare. With air temps up to 18.4°C, water temperature at 17.8°C and precipitation only 1.04 mm/day, summer beach life is great; surfers should bring a bigger board and look for the odd NW swell to make it worth paddling out.
