Conditions at Punta Chipehua in July
July: Onshore Winds and the Summer Slump
July is where Punta Chipehua loses its rhythm. The southern-hemisphere swell is still present-13.6s and 1.4m average-but S/SSW directions combine for 82% of the wave rose, leaving only small pockets of NE/ENE swell. More damaging is the wind: NNE/NE plus N blows roughly 66% of the time, and ideal offshore wind drops to just 18%. Those northerly gap winds are cross-to-onshore for the ENE-facing beach and they pile up the surface, turning clean sets into ropy, sectiony lines. Rain is frequent (4.99 mm/day) and the sea sits at a balmy 30.3°C. If you score a SW-wind window, there are still fun waves; otherwise this is a month to save your energy.
