Conditions at Mundaka in July
July: Peak Summer Flatness, But Not Zero
July is the absolute bottom of the annual swell curve at Mundaka. The average swell limps to 3ft (0.9m) and the average period to 8.7s-the shortest of the year. The northwest windswell signal is still visible in the statistics, with NW at a massive 61.7% and NNW at 23.6%, but the height distribution is heavily bottom-loaded: 35.7% of the NW energy falls in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range, and 8ft+ (2.5m+) is essentially absent.
Thermal NE and NNE winds become prominent together over 20%, and the ideal offshore wind percentage crashes to 14%-the lowest of the year. When the sun heats the plateau, an onshore sea breeze bites the surface by midday. Early mornings can still turn up the odd small, glassy left, especially when the synoptic pressure gradient relaxes. With water temperature at 21.6°C and air at 20.2°C, summer surf at Mundaka is a gear-down experience: fun for bodies and beginners, but a world away from winter's barrels.
