Conditions at Bakio in July
July: The Summer Flat
July is the most marginal month of the year for serious surfing at Bakio. The average swell is only 1.0m (3ft), the average period drops to 8.8s, and although NW produces a massive 60.5 percent of all swell energy, most of it is weak: 33.6 percent of the entire month falls in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) class and 18.8 percent in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class. NNW adds 24.6 percent, but the short-period nature means waves often feel softer and more crumbly. Ideal offshore wind bottoms out at 16 percent, and the wind pattern is heavily northern and north-easterly, with NE, NNW, NW and WNW all well represented. Southerly offshore breezes are rare, so clean, organized surf is hard to come by. Water temperature reaches 21.2°C, air averages 20.2°C and rainfall is only 1.41mm/day. It is a lovely beach month for swimming and cruising, but not a serious surf destination.
