Conditions at La Barqueta in July
July: Heavy Swell, Heavy Chop
July continues the low-wind-reliability pattern, with ideal conditions only 35 percent of the time. Swell is still abundant: average height sits at 1.2m (4ft) and the average period is 13.1 seconds. The direction is almost entirely SSW (94 percent) with a touch of SW, and the wave-height spectrum is well distributed between 1-1.5m (4-5ft) at 72 percent and 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) at 12 percent. The ocean is full of energy, but the wind works against it. W and WNW each account for about 16 percent of observations, with WSW at 13 percent and SW at 10 percent, producing lumpy, blown-out surf for most of the month. Early mornings occasionally offer calmer conditions before the sea breeze kicks in. Water temperature is 28.9°C and precipitation is 8.23 mm per day.
