Conditions at L'Embarcadore in July
July: Clean Summer Micro-Swell
July is quintessential summer: small surf but excellent conditions. The average height sits at 1.0m (3ft), the average period at 8.5s, and the wave rose is almost entirely made up of WNW (49.6%), W (30.5%), and NW (9.2%) windswell. Over 30% of the waves are in the 0.5-1m range, so the beach rarely offers anything beyond waist/thigh high. The trade-off is the cleanest wind regime of the year outside August, with ideal offshore wind at 44%. Persistent NW to NNW airflow, plus a stronger afternoon sea breeze around the thermal low, keeps surfaces smooth and sections rippable. This is a fun month for longboards and summer cruisers, but dedicated shortboarders will be scratching for waves. Air temps peak around 19.6°C, water 20.2°C, with only 1.45mm/day of rain.
