Conditions at Cayo Coco in July
July: The Deadest Month of the Calendar
July is statistically the surf low point at Cayo Coco. The average swell height is 2.0ft (0.6m), but the period is 3.0s and the distribution is absurdly one-sided: E swell makes up 77.1% of the spectrum, and adding ENE and ESE pushes the easterly block above 97%. Swell from the ideal N/NNW/NW quadrant is virtually nonexistent, totaling less than 1%. Winds are locked into the trade-wind pattern, with E and ENE winds combining for nearly 66% of observations and E winds in the 20-30kph range alone totaling over 32% of the month. The surf is small, short-period, and persistently bumped by cross-onshore flow. Ideal offshore S/SSW/SW winds are present just 1% of the time, making any quality session a statistical miracle. With an average air temperature of 28.9°C and water temperature 28.6°C, it is more of a swimming and kitesurfing month than a serious surfing month. Rain falls at 2.68mm/day, mostly in afternoon tropical downpours.
