Conditions at La Lancha in July
July: Perfect Swell Angle, Small Punch, Heavy Rain
July delivers the most favorable swell direction of the year at La Lancha: SW 64% and SSW 29% dominate the wave rose, with almost no W or NW energy. The average swell height is 3ft (0.9m) and the period remains long at 13.6s, so surfers will see clean lines but modest sizes - mostly in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range. It is a friendly, groveling month for the longboarders, not a month for big-wave hunters. The waves are small, but they are coming from the right direction.
Wind is better than June, with ideal offshore flow at 73%, but the weather is much wetter. Precipitation jumps to 9.96mm/day, water temperatures reach 30.4°C, and air temperatures average 27.5°C. The combination of warm water, humid air and rainy afternoons makes for tropical surf conditions. Look for early offshore windows after a passing disturbance; otherwise, July is a small-wave, fun-in-the-surf month.
