Conditions at Cadiz in July
July: Grovelers and Glassy Mornings
July is the heart of the summer flat spell. The average wave height is only 3ft (0.9m), with the average period bottoming out at 6.7 seconds. WNW is overwhelmingly dominant at 61.3 per cent, but look inside the numbers: 46.6 per cent of all waves are 0.5-1m (2-3ft) - enough for a longboard or a groveler, but not for serious hollow surf. The west-facing exposure is still catching whatever weak Atlantic pulses drift south, but the storm engine has almost switched off.
Winds are dominated by the afternoon Poniente/sea breeze, with W at 16.4 per cent, WNW at 10.9 per cent and WSW at 9.6 per cent. Offshore ESE still appears 14.9 per cent of the time, which explains why mornings with light east/northeast flow can briefly reel. Ideal surf windows remain around 20 per cent, mostly tied to the pre-dawn and early morning hours. Water temp reaches 21.7°C, air 24.6°C and rain is virtually none (0.02mm/day) - enjoy the beach, but keep expectations low.
