Conditions at Manuel Antonio in July
July: Solid Swell, Morning Windows Only
July continues the Southern Hemisphere feeding frenzy, with an average height of 4.3ft (1.3m) and an average period of 13.4s. The directional spread remains tight around the optimal SSW: 91.2% of all waves come from SSW, and 20.1% are in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range, with another 1.1% in the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) range. The main challenge is the wind-the ideal wind percentage drops to 19%, one of the lowest of the year, as the tropical sea breeze becomes a daily factor. Air temperatures are slightly cooler at 25.9°C, but the water stays warm at 29.0°C and rainfall remains significant at 7.65mm/day. Look for the cleanest conditions in the first half of the day, before the S/SW wind roughens the surface.
