Conditions at Alvor in July
July: Peak Summer Flatness
July is the lowest consistency of the year at Alvor. The average wave height bottoms out at 0.8m (2.5ft) and the average period is just 8.0s, with most of the energy in the 0.5-1m range. The wave rose is extreme: NW alone accounts for 61.5 percent, WNW for 20.5 percent, and nearly everything is under 1.5m. Direct S/SSW/SW swell totals less than 1 percent, making this the least favorable month for the spot's ideal swell window. Ideal wind is just 29 percent - the lowest of the entire year - with NNW at 36.8 percent and NW at 23.9 percent creating a persistent summer breeze. Water temperature reaches 19.1°C, air averages 21.3°C, and rain is almost zero at 0.04mm/day. It is a stunning beach month, but surf-wise July is all about small, weak NW windswell and longboard cruising. If a tropical storm or hurricane tracks north from the central Atlantic, Alvor can suddenly light up with rare south-southwest groundswell, but statistically that is a rare exception.
