July: Deep-Winter Heavies With a Narrow Window
July is the heart of the Peruvian winter, and El Paso is absolutely loaded with swell. Average height holds at 1.9m (6ft) with a still-solid 12.8s period. Straight south swell becomes more important at 18% of the energy, while SSW continues to lead with 70%. The 1.5-2m (5-7ft) band accounts for 37% of waves, and 20% push into the 2-2.5m (6-8ft) range. When it's good, it's heavy and powerful.
But the wind is even less cooperative: only 1% ideal offshore conditions. S and SSW winds combine for 78% of all observations, and SW adds another 11%. Persistent onshore flow keeps many sessions on the messy side, so you need a serious weather chart to find the odd offshore dawn window. Water temps bottom out near 15.9°C, air averages 16.9°C, and the desert stays dry. This is chargers-only territory.
