Conditions at Vale Figueiras in July
July: Peak Summer, Peak Frustration
July is the slowest and most difficult month for quality surf at Vale Figueiras. The average swell height holds at 1.4m (4-5ft), but the average period bottoms out at 8.2s, meaning the ocean is often a mess of short-interval windswell and weak groundswell. The swell direction is actually perfect, with NW 43.9% and NNW 46.5% dominating, yet the energy is just not there. Surfable winds are ideal only 8% of the time, the lowest of the year, while NNW wind howls 56.8% of the time and NW adds another 17.9%. The result is small waves with bad texture, usually blown out by midday. Water temps are warm at 18.2°C, air temps average 21.3°C, and precipitation is essentially zero at 0.04 mm/day. The only chance for a decent session is a rare overnight/offshore morning before the sea breeze wrecks it.
