Conditions at Azurara in July
July: Peak Summer Surf Lull
July is the quietest month of the year for Azurara. The average swell height slips to 4.6ft (1.4m) and the average period bottoms out at 8.6s. Nearly all the energy is short-period NW/NNW windswell - NW 37.5%, NNW 35.7% and WNW 19.3% - with very little true W/SW groundswell reaching the coast. Ideal wind conditions happen just 33 percent of the time, as the Azores High locks in the summer northwesterly flow. Air temperatures peak in the low 20s (20.6°C average) while water temperature stays cool at 16.8°C, so a summer wetsuit is still on the menu. This is longboard and foamie territory, not serious high-performance surf.
