Conditions at Playa Grande in July
July: The Heart of the Flat Season
July is the flattest month of the year at Playa Grande, despite the average height listed at 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m). A remarkable 87.1 percent of the swell arrives from straight E, with only 11.9 percent from ENE. Periods remain low at 7.3s, so most waves are soft, sectiony and better suited to logs than performance shortboards. The wind regime is split between ESE (45.7 percent), E (32.4 percent) and SE (17.2 percent), with ideal offshore flow 40 percent of the time. That means plenty of clean but empty-looking days; you might catch the occasional fun 3-5ft (1-1.5m) wave if a small NE pulse sneaks in. Water temperature is 27.9°C, air 27.7°C, and the summer heat keeps the water warm and inviting even if the surf does not cooperate.
