Conditions at Arrifana in July
July: Peak Summer Grind
July is the low point of the surf calendar at Arrifana. The average swell sits at 1.4m (4-5ft) but the period is only 8.2s, putting it in the average, punchy but unremarkable range. The wave rose tells the story: NNW (46.5%) and NW (43.9%) are nearly the only swells in town, with direct W swell at just 0.6%. Meanwhile the wind rose is dominated by a relentless NNW flow, blowing 56.8% of the time, and NW at 17.9%, so surfaces are often windblown. Ideal wind conditions manage only 36%, and those are usually early or late in the day. With air temps at 22.8C and water at 17.3C, it is a beautiful beach day, but serious surfers should be prepared to wait for a rare long-period pulse or travel elsewhere.
