Conditions at Playa Linda in July
July: Clean Summer Winds, Southerly Angles
July is a statistical paradox at Playa Linda: the wind quality is excellent, but the swell direction is wrong. Ideal offshore flow jumps to 44%, and the trade winds keep the surface much cleaner than spring - yet the swell remains locked in the south: SSW at 71.5% and S at 23.1%, with only 4.0% SW. The average wave height is still 5ft (1.4m) and period 13.6s, so there's no shortage of ocean energy; the problem is that most of it arrives at an awkward angle to the beach. On the positive side, the water is bathtub warm at 30.7°C, air temps sit at 28.5°C, and the easterly components in the wind keep the surface lined up when the tide is right. The best days occur when a tropical disturbance or a slight west shift in the southern hemi swell allows the west-southwest face to fully light up. Rain is substantial at 5.90mm/day.
