Conditions at La Saladita in July
July: Hurricane Season Stirs the Southwest Pacific
July is all about long-period southern swell and early eastern-Pacific hurricane activity. The average height holds at a solid 5ft (1.5m), with a 13.5s average period. The direction distribution is dominated by SSW (62.6%) and S (29.6%), with SW (4.3%) in the mix. SSW pushes waves into the 1-1.5m (32.8%) and 1.5-2m (25.7%) bands, while S waves add another 16.3% of 1-1.5m and 11.9% of 1.5-2m. Consistency is high, and sets have real power.
The wind continues to improve. Ideal offshore flow reaches 43%, with SE (9.7%), SSE (7.6%), and ESE (6.1%) all active. The onshore SW-WSW-W-WNW block totals only around 30%, meaning more groomed, glassy surf in the morning and after tropical storms. Air temperatures average 27.0°C, water temperature is a warm 30.6°C, and precipitation jumps to 5.40 mm/day as the monsoon/hurricane pattern delivers tropical showers. July is squarely in the best-surf window, with classic La Saladita lefts on offer.
