Conditions at El Mongol in July
July: High Summer Flatness
July is the true summer flat spell. The average swell remains 3ft (0.9m), but the period slips to the year's lowest at 8.7s, which means short-period, disorganized surf. NW and NNW swells still appear on the charts at 44% and 36%, respectively, but the height distribution is locked in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range and rarely exceeds 5ft (1.5m). Ideal wind percentages bottom out at 16%, with ENE, NE and NNW winds common, and an almost permanent afternoon onshore flow from the north and northwest. Air temperatures average 19.3°C, water is 19.6°C, and precipitation is minimal at 1.09mm/day. It is a classic small, crumbly summer beach day. Keep expectations low and the longboard waxed.
