July: Smallest of the Year
July is the bottom of the barrel for size at Maceda. Average wave height sits at 0.9m (3ft) with an 8.8s period, and the swell direction is overwhelmingly NW (51.8%) with WNW at 40.8%. That is classic, short-period summer windswell - punchy on the outer sandbars but generally soft and inconsistent. The wind quality is critical: ideal offshore wind drops to just 9% of the time, the lowest of any month. The charts are dominated by NNW (47.0%) and NW (15.1%) winds, often running at 20-30kph, putting a persistent onshore bump on the break. The only windows are very early mornings or brief easterly drifts. Air temp averages 20.1°C, water 16.9°C, and you'll see virtually no rain. A fun-sized board and low expectations are the summer motto at Maceda.
