Conditions at Ingrina in July
July: Wind-Swell Summer and Brutal Nortada
July is the peak of the Algarve summer wind machine. Average height stays at 4-5ft (1.4m) but the period drops to 8.2s, the lowest of the year. Almost all swell comes from the NW (43.9%) and NNW (46.5%), with a significant portion of the observations in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range - small, fun-sized, groveling waves. The wind is overwhelmingly NNW at 68.2%, often blowing 20-40kph, and the ideal surf percentage falls to just 20%. That is the trade-off: you get clean offshore texture but also strong thermal wind that can flatten and bump the surface. Water temperature is 18.5°C, air temperatures average 21.3°C, and rainfall is almost nil. July is not the month for Ingrina glory; it is the month to stay on the groveler and pick the calm windows.
