Conditions at Paul do Mar in July
July: Deep Summer, Clean Lines
July is the middle of the low season. Average swell height bottoms out at 1.4m (4.5ft), and the average period drops to 8.5s - the shortest of the year. The wave rose is dominated by NNE (38.1%), NNW (30.6%) and N (18.4%), almost entirely in the 1-2m (3-6.5ft) classes. This is low-quality, poorly organised north-northeast windswell for a southwest-facing spot. On the bright side, the offshore trade wind regime is solid: ideal wind blows 46% of the time from the NNE/NE quadrant, and onshore wind is almost non-existent in the data. Clean, warm, fun-sized surf is available most days on a longboard, but don't come looking for winter power. Air temps warm to 21.4°C (18.9-24.7°C), water reaches 22.0°C, and rainfall is just 0.11mm/day.
