Conditions at Playa de Famara in July
July: Full Summer Trade-Wind Machine
July is the heart of the Famara summer slowdown. The average wave height stays around 1.4m (4.6ft), but the average period craters to 7.3s, making the waves short, crumbly and disorganized. The direction data is extreme: NNE swell dominates at 61.2%, with N at 29.9% and NNW at 8.3%. On the wind side, NNE blows an astonishing 60.5% of the time, often at 30-40kph. Ideal offshore conditions are recorded at zero percent. What you get is a constant, wind-blown, cross-onshore mess with the occasional clean morning micro-window. Water temperature reaches 20.7°C, air temps average 21.7°C, and rain is essentially absent. If you come in July, bring a big board, a positive attitude and a willingness to pick off the one good left that slides through before the trades completely shred it.
