Conditions at Playa A Frouxeira in July
July: Summer Sigh
July is the quietest month of the year at Frouxeira. Average swell is just 4.9ft (1.5m), with a period of 8.6s - the weakest of the entire calendar. The direction is still remarkably good on paper, with WNW (24.3%) and NW (24.2%) dominating, but those waves are mostly short-period wind swell and smaller swell radiating from a distant Atlantic. The wind data tells the real story: NE winds are the most common direction at 20.2%, joined by NNE (12.9%) and ENE (10.9%), which makes for predominantly onshore or cross-shore conditions on a beach facing NNW. Only 15% of the time does the wind blow from the favorable S/SSW/SW quadrant. Water temp climbs to a pleasant 17.8°C and rainfall is minimal at 1.04mm/day. Expect smaller, chunkier waves and classic summer surf - still surfable, but definitely not firing.
