July: Small, Directionally Poor Swell - But Clean Windows Are More Frequent
July remains deep in the low season for wave direction. The average swell height drops to 0.9m (3ft), the smallest of the year, with the average period still 13.6s. The wave rose is a one-way street: SW is 64.3%, SSW is 28.7%, WSW is 6.5%, and W is just 0.3%. This is the classic southern-hemisphere/tropical summer swell window, which San Pancho simply cannot make the most of. Most readings fall in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) range, with some 1-1.5m (3-5ft) lines - but again, from the wrong direction. The good news is that wind conditions are much more favourable: ideal offshore flow is 35% of the time, with light winds from the SSW/SW/WSW sectors and a broader distribution overall. When a rare W or WNW component pops up under those light offshore winds, July can deliver clean, playful waves. Air temps average 28.1°C, water temps reach 30.3°C, and rainfall jumps to 10.46 mm/day, so expect humidity and afternoon showers. This is a board-shorts and fun-sized longboard month.
