Conditions at Cabo Ledo in July
July: Peak Season in the South Atlantic
July is the apex of the Southern Hemisphere winter. The average period peaks at 13.0 seconds, average swell height holds at 4ft (1.3m), and the largest share of 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) energy of the year rolls through. The SSW/SW source remains consistent, but the South Atlantic's extra-tropical cyclones are now deeper and more frequent, producing long, clean lines that wrap into the bay.
The wind regime is favourable: offshore S/SSW/SW/WSW flow is present 68 percent of the time, often moderate in strength. Water temperature drops to 20.6°C, the dry season is in full swing, and visibility is often crisp and clear. This is the month when Cabo Ledo's peaks can genuinely fire, with real mid-winter push behind every set.
