Conditions at El Jadida in July
July: Flat, Onshore and All About the Trades
July is the heart of the summer low season at El Jadida. Average wave height is 3.9ft (1.2m), the average period is only 8.4s, and the wave rose is dramatically compressed into the NNW (86.6%) and NW (12.8%) bins. This is the classic Canary/North Atlantic trade-wind swell: short period, low energy, and often messy unless the wind behaves. It rarely does. Ideal offshore winds drop to a season-low 7%, while NNE rips in at 46.4% of the time and N (17.4%) and NNW (15.7%) add to the unpleasant surface breeze. The best you can hope for is a tiny, smooth morning wave in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range before the afternoon trade wind rears up. Water temperature reaches 21.4°C, air temperature averages 23.1°C (min 17.5°C, max 42.3°C), and rainfall is essentially absent at 0.10 mm/day. This is not the month to plan a surf trip around.
