Conditions at Cabo do Mundo in July

July: Small Summer Swell

July is the slowest month of the year for surf at Cabo do Mundo. The average wave height bottoms out at 4-5ft (1.4m) and the average period is just 8.5s, making for weak, short-window waves. The swell rose is extremely one-dimensional: NW (44.9%) and NNW (30.6%) combine for over 75% of all observations, with WNW (18.5%) as the main supporting direction. Most of that energy is small trade-wind swell in the 0.5-1.5m range. Ideal offshore wind plummets to 14%, the lowest of the year. The wind data shows a relentless NNW flow at 43.2%, plus NW at 16.1%, keeping the ocean bumpy and blown-out for much of the day. Summer holiday crowds and warm air temps of 20.1°C are nice, but anyone looking for quality waves will be checking the forecast every morning for the rare offshore window.
