Conditions at Bucerias in July
July: Hurricane Alley Wildcards
July is when the Eastern Pacific hurricane season starts to fire. The average swell drops ever so slightly to 3ft (0.9m) but the period stays long at 13.6s, and the dominant directions are extremely favorable - over 90% of the wave energy arrives from SSW/SW. This is the first month where tropical cyclones tracking south of Mexico can add serious size and power to the background groundswell.
Clean conditions are more hit-or-miss. Ideal winds recover to 65 percent, but the atmosphere is much more unstable, with average rainfall near 10mm/day and water temperature at a sultry 30.4°C. Air temperatures hover around 27.5°C. The best strategy is to treat every day on its own merits: if a tropical storm stays offshore, Bucerias can be excellent; if it moves in, expect onshore winds and stormy, lumpy conditions.
