Conditions at Costa Azul in July
July: Warm Water and Closed-Out Souths
July marks the peak of the southern hemi swell season, with the average height reaching 1.2m (3.9ft) and period still a hefty 13.0s. The direction is extreme: S swells dominate with 72.9% of the spectrum, while SSW only contributes 21.4%. Interestingly, SSE increases to 4.8%, giving the coast a touch of a more eastern orientation, but it's still short of the desired SE. Offshore winds are more variable, with ideal conditions 80% of the time; W and WNW still prevail. The water gets warm - 28.3°C - and the tropical humidity builds. The high volume of S swell makes for a powerful, intimidating ocean, but Costa Azul's geometry causes these waves to close out or double up unforgivingly. If you can find a sandbar that heals with the south swell, you might get a few barrel sections, but consistency is poor. Watch for just a hint of ESE in the period - if the wind cooperates, a little tropical storm bump could make July a sleeper.
