Conditions at Louro in July
July: Classic Summer Smallness
July is the heart of the summer slump. Average swell height bottoms out around 2-3ft (0.8m) with an average period of just 7.1s. The swell is dominated by WNW (30%), NW (26.5%) and NNW (23.6%) pulses, while the preferred S-SSW-SW-WSW window is almost absent at 4.3%. The good news is that offshore winds are plentiful: NNE (28.2%), NE (10.8%) and N (8.6%) keep the surface clean 41% of the time. This creates a frustrating paradox - consistent clean surf, but almost no size to work with. Water temperature reaches 16.8°C, air temps average 17.9°C, and only 0.97 mm/day of rain falls. When a rare south-southwest pulse coaxes a little more energy into the bay, it can be worth paddling out, but expectations should be low.
