Conditions at El Huayaco in July
July: Midwinter Maximum Size, Choppy Sideshore Conditions
July continues the midwinter maximum, with average swell height at 6ft (1.9m) and a period of 12.8s. The south quadrant becomes more prominent: S-angled swell jumps to 17.6 percent, while SSW still accounts for 70.1 percent and SW another 4.0 percent. This mix produces a lot of raw energy, with over 76 percent of waves in the 5ft (1.5m) plus range.
Wind remains the limiting factor. A persistent S/SSW flow totals 93.5 percent of the observations, and the 10-20kph band is overwhelming. Ideal offshore flow is still 0 percent, leaving the lineup exposed and the surface textured. It's cool and dry, with air temps averaging 16.9°C and water dropping to 15.9°C. July is all about heavy, powerful groundswell - but expect a bowl of chop on most afternoons.
