Conditions at Meio da Baja in July
July: Peak Summer, Peak Onshore Flow
July is the heart of the summer lull. Average swell height slips to 4.9ft (1.5m) with an average period of only 8.6 seconds. Most of the energy arrives from NNW and NW, which is directionally fine for Meio da Baja, but the short period and lack of size leave the waves groveling more often than not. There are still head-high days when a pulse of NW windswell fills in, but they are the exception.
Wind is the real story: NNW winds total a massive 63%, while ideal offshore winds sit at a grim 5%. That means almost constant onshore conditions at the beach. When the wind does go light or southerly, grab it immediately. Water temp reaches 18.1°C, air temp averages 19.4°C and rain is almost non-existent - but summer in Portugal is about beach life, not epic barrels.
