Conditions at Parede in July
July: Peak Summer Flatness
July is the quietest month of the year for swell at Parede. Average height sits at 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m), but the average period of 8.4s is firmly in the short-period, windswell range, so the waves lack real punch. The swell direction is even more locked into the north: NW 43%, NNW 43% and WNW 11%, leaving almost zero percent from the S/SW-to-WSW window. This is the time of year when Parede is best saved for a swim or a longboard if anything shows up.
The thermal wind machine is also running at full strength. NNW winds blow 64% of the time, many days in the 20-30kph range, while ideal offshore wind drops to 36%. Air temperature averages 20.0°C, water temp holds at 17.5°C, and precipitation is negligible at 0.11mm/day. Plan for tiny, wind-affected surf unless a rare summer SSW low lines up.
