Conditions at Playa Blanca in July
July: Consistent Winter Power, Same Rare Offshore Windows
July continues the winter rhythm with an average 6ft (1.8m) of swell and a 12.8s period. SW swell dominates at 64%, with WSW at 23%, and 22.5% of waves are in the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) range. The consistency is remarkable; Playa Blanca receives powerful groundswell almost every day.
Ideal wind odds remain at 11%, making July tied with June for the most realistic shot at clean surf. SSW winds at 32% and S winds at 19% still fill the wind rose, but the presence of more N, NNE and NW flow means the pressure gradients often relax enough for light offshore morning windows. Water temp drops to 12.6°C, air temp to 13.3°C, and rainfall is moderate at 0.56mm/day. This is a month for the determined winter surfer: bring the thick wetsuit and watch the wind forecast closely.
