Conditions at El Muelle in July
July: Trade Wind Chop and Heavy Northeast Flow
July is statistically the worst month for surf quality at El Muelle. The average swell height actually ticks up to 1.6m (5.2ft), but period plummets to 7.7s, the lowest of the year. The direction shifts hard toward N (46.7%) and NNE (25.6%), with NNW down to 26.2%. This is mostly short-period, locally generated windswell breaking along the exposed beach - punchy, chunky, and almost always lumpy.
The wind data tells the real story: NNE winds blow 57.5% of the time, with a large share blowing 30-40kph, and N adds another 26.9%. Ideal offshore wind is recorded at 0% of the time. In other words, clean conditions are essentially nonexistent. Air temperatures are warm at 21.9°C, water temperature rises to 21.3°C, and rain is negligible at 0.03mm/day. Unless you are chasing chaotic onshore beachbreak, July is best spent doing anything else.
