Conditions at Gaztetape in July
July: Peak Summer Flatness
July is the desert of the surf calendar at Gaztetape. Average swell heights bottom out at 1.0m (3ft) and the average period drops to 8.8s - short-period, mostly windswell. NW remains the dominant swell direction (65%), but it's all in the 0.5-1.5m (1.5-5ft) range, and there is essentially no real ocean energy. Ideal wind is scarce, at only 18% of the time, while NNW and NNE winds together account for over 30% of observations - blowing directly onshore and messing up the already small surf. Expect fat, bumpy, and marginal conditions; this is the time to chase spots with more exposure or simply take a break.
Air temps reach 20.2°C and water warms to a balmy 21.6°C. Precipitation is minimal at 1.41 mm/day.
