July: Mid-Winter Grind
July is the heart of Peruvian winter: the swell machine does not let up, but the wind rarely gives you a free ride. Average height remains at 1.9m (6ft), while the average period slips slightly to 12.8 seconds - still very much in the long-period, powerful category. The S component continues to grow, accounting for 18 percent of the swell, while SSW remains the champ at 70 percent. This creates a mix of bombing SSW lines and steeper, more jacking S groundswell, both hitting a WSW-facing spot with serious energy. However, the ideal wind window contracts to just 2 percent. S and SSW winds together make up 78 percent of all observations, and the persistent flow puts constant bumps on the faces. July is the month for the veteran local who knows exactly which tide and which sandbar will handle the chop - not necessarily the month for the casual surfer wanting groomed perfection. Water temp drops to 15.9°C (61°F), and the air averages only 16.9°C. Winter is locked in.
