Conditions at Santo Amaro in July
July: Small but Peak Summer Shape
July is the heart of the low season, averaging 4ft (1.3m) at 8.4 seconds-the shortest periods of the year. Swell direction becomes even more compressed: NW (43.4 percent) and NNW (42.7 percent) together account for 86 percent of the wave rose. The wind is almost monotonous, with NNW at 63.9 percent and NW at 13.7 percent, so offshore conditions are the default. Yet the ideal-wind stat drops to 44 percent because many of those NNW days blow over 20-30kph, making the surface bumpy and hard to read. Still, on the lighter-wind mornings, Santo Amaro offers fun, rippable sand wedges in the waist-to-shoulder range. Water temperature averages 17.5°C, air 20.0°C, and precipitation is nearly zero-perfect beach weather even if the ocean is in summer hibernation.
