Conditions at El Brusco in July
July: Peak Summer Flatness, Morning Windows Only
July is statistically the lowest-energy month of the year at El Brusco. The average swell height bottoms out at 3ft (0.9m), the average period at 8.9s, and while the direction is still dominated by the NW quadrant - NW, NNW and WNW make up over 93% of the wave rose - the size is simply not there. Most waves sit in the 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) zone, with just a few 4ft (1.2m) pulses from a distant NW groundswell. This is longboard and funboard territory, not high-performance surfing. Offshore wind potential reaches its lowest at 22%, and the prevailing ENE/E flow, along with afternoon NW sea breezes, means the surf is often bumpy and soft. Early mornings offer the best chance of a clean, small-scale session before the wind ruins the surface. Air temp averages 19.8°C (min 12.7°C, max 34.7°C), rainfall is minimal at 1.14 mm/day, and water temperature hits a warm 21.3°C. It is a beautiful time to be at the beach, but do not expect the Atlantic to roar.
