Conditions at Guajataca in July
July: Peak Trades and Minimal North Energy
July is the lowest of the low season at Guajataca. Swell from the E, ESE and SE direction is effectively all there is, with ESE dominant at 77.9% and SE at 21.5%. Average wave height is 0.7m and average period is only 6.2s, meaning most surf is soft, short-period trade swell in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range. Conditions become even windier than June, with E at 45.9% and ENE at 40.3% - a relentless cross-onshore push. Ideal wind potential plummets to 8%, the lowest of the year, making quality sessions rare. Water temperature peaks near 28.5°C and air temperatures average 27.7°C (24.5-32.1°C), with afternoon tropical showers adding fresh runoff to the lineup. If the trades ease at dawn, there can be fun little waves, but this is definitely the month to bring a high-volume board and lower expectations.
