July: Summer Groundswell with a 68% Clean-Window Edge
July brings back a bit of order. Swell remains almost entirely from the SSW - 92.7% from that one direction, with SW at 5.1% providing a small component of the window - while the average period sits at 13.5s and height at 1.1m (3.6ft). It is still very much a long-period, southern-hemisphere month, but the wind rose is a little friendlier to Ciruelo than May or June.
Ideal surfing winds reach 68%, the highest of the summer. Offshore flow from NNW, NW and WNW totals around 32%, and the strongest onshore directions (SW/WSW/W) hold near 26%. This balance means more mornings with chewy, lined-up SSW swell and less afternoon chop. Rain remains heavy at 10.14mm/day and the water is a bath-like 28.8°C, but the consistent clean windows make July one of the better rainy-season months at Ciruelo.
