Conditions at Getxo in July
July: Grovel Season
July is the weakest month of the year for swell period at Getxo. Although the NW sector actually increases its share to 60.5% - with NNW at 24.6% and WNW at 9.4% - the average wave height is only 3.3ft (1.0m) and the period falls to 8.8s, solidly in the short-period, choppy range. This is largely a summer windswell regime driven by Atlantic high pressure and local sea breezes, not by distant storms. Ideal offshore wind frequency drops to 36%, and when it is offshore, the waves are small but clean. Air temperatures are warm at 20.2°C, water hits a balmy 21.3°C, and rain is scarce at 1.22mm/day. July is summer-crowd central; bring a longboard.
