Conditions at Punta Rocas in July
July at Punta Rocas delivers consistent, powerful surf with an average swell height of 2.0m and a long period of 13.9s, ensuring well-formed, hollow waves ideal for advanced surfers. The swell direction is predominantly SSW (35.8% of waves between 1.5–2.5m) and SW (36.3% in the same range), aligning perfectly with the break to create steep, barreling right-handers. Larger sets (2.5m+) are rare but present (1–2%). Wind conditions are the main challenge: only 2% of days see ideal offshore winds (light W/NW), while southerly winds (S/SSE) dominate (60+% of days), often blowing 20–30kph, causing bumpy or cross-shore chop. Mornings tend to be cleaner before the wind picks up. Expect solid, heavy waves but prepare for frequent onshore wind interference. A winter wetty (4/3mm) is essential due to cold upwelling currents.
