Conditions at Nuevo Vallarta in July
July: Glassy Mornings and Summer Grovelers
July is classic summer doldrums for Nuevo Vallarta, but the swell direction is ideal: SW dominates at 62.8 percent, SSW contributes 23.9 percent, and WSW adds 12 percent. Average height drops to 0.9m (about 3ft) and the average period remains a respectable 13.7s. More than 80 percent of the readings fall into the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) category, so most days are fun-sized rather than spectacular. The long period gives the small swell a bit of push, and the rare 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) set will still make the beach break work.
Wind quality recovers a bit, with ideal offshore conditions 56 percent of the time. Light ENE/E winds feature heavily during the morning, although W/WNW sea breezes develop later. Air temperatures average 23.7°C, precipitation climbs to 9.16mm/day, and water temperature hits a warm 30.4°C. July is a longboard and summer board time; pick off the clean morning peaks and enjoy warm water.
