Conditions at Pedrogao in July
July: Peak Summer, Lowest Consistency
July is the toughest month for consistent surf at Pedrogão. Average wave height is just 4.3ft (1.3m) and average period is 8.7s, which is at the low end of the average-to-punchy spectrum. The swell distribution is dominated by NW at 50.4% and NNW at 31.1%, with WNW 15.1% and W only 2.0%, so a lot of the energy is angled north and less ideal for the west-facing beach. When waves do arrive, they are mostly in the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range, with a small portion reaching 5-6ft (1.5-2m). Wind is the real killer: ideal offshore wind occurs only 5% of the time, the lowest of the year. NNW wind howls 57.8% of the time, creating constant onshore/cross-onshore texture. Air temperatures average 20.9°C (range 11.0 to 37.5°C), precipitation is negligible at 0.28 mm/day, and water temperature is 17.9°C. July is best for longboard fun in the early morning, not for chasing quality waves.
