Conditions at Cordoama in July

July: Peak Summer Blowout

July is the low tide of the surf year at Cordoama. The average swell height is 4-5ft (1.4m), but the average period of 8.2s tells the real story - a wind-swell signature rather than true groundswell. While NW and NNW swells combine for over 90% of the readings, most of that energy is in the 1-2m (3-6ft) range and lacks the period to push into the beach with any real power. The wind data are brutal: NNW blows 68.2% of the time, NW another 14.3%, and ideal offshore flow is at a year-low of 5%. Water temps are warm at 18.2C, air temps average 21.3C, and precipitation is essentially zero at 0.04mm/day. For most surfers this is the season to hunt sandbars further south or wait for a rare tropical swell pulse. When those pulses align with an early-morning offshore wind, Cordoama can still offer fun, rippable waves.
