Conditions at Canide Norte in July
July: Peak Summer - Small NW Pulses and Daily Northerlies
July is the lowest point of the surf year on paper, though Canide Norte still manages to grovel. Average swell height slips to 0.9m (3.0ft) and period drops to 8.8s - short-period, locally forced NW swell. The direction mix is extremely consistent: NW (51.8%) and WNW (40.8%) dominate, with nearly all waves in the 0.5-1.5m (1.6-4.9ft) range. The real problem is the wind. Ideal offshore flow occurs only 10% of the time, and the infamous summer northerly is relentless, with NNW wind at 47.0% of the time. This produces a lot of bumpy, lumpy, cross-shore-affected surf, especially in the afternoons. Early morning glass-offs are the only dependable window. Air temps average 20.1°C, water temps hold at 16.8°C, and rainfall is almost non-existent at 0.41mm/day. It is a great time for a beach day; less so for a surf mission.
