Conditions at Punta Burica in July
July: Consistent Energy, Fickle Conditions
July keeps the Southern Hemi swell train rolling. The swell rose is nearly all SSW (92%), with a 13.4s period and an average height of 4.5ft (1.4m). The height distribution is solid: 63% in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range and 30% in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range, plus a few 6-8ft (2-2.5m) sets. However, ideal wind drops to 8%, and rain soaks the region with 11.19mm/day. The wind rose is dominated by WSW, W, and WNW directions, which put a messy cross-onshore texture on the waves. Water temps sit at 28.7°C. You'll need to pick your windows carefully and be ready for occasional heavy, lumpy days with real power.
