Conditions at Coxos in July

July: Peak Summer Flatline

July is the heart of the Coxos slowdown. Average swell is just 4.6ft (1.4m), the period bottoms out at 8.5 seconds, and the ideal-wind window drops to 4 percent, the lowest of the year. The swell distribution is heavily NNW at 54.2 percent and NW at 33.0 percent, with WNW reduced to 9.2 percent and almost no true W/SW groundswell. This is the summer trade-wind sea state: small, often bumpy and riding on short-period energy. NNW winds dominate 59 percent of the time, so blown-out conditions are the norm. When a rare east wind aligns with dawn, Coxos can offer fun, hollow little waves, but you will be sharing them with a handful of patient regulars. Air temperatures peak around 20.2°C, water sits at 17.4°C, and rainfall is nearly zero at 0.15 mm/day. If you want big Coxos, July is not the month.
