Conditions at Orio in July
July: Peak Summer Groveling
July is the bottom of the curve for Orio. Average swell height remains around 3-4ft (1m), the period sinks to 8.8s, and the ideal wind score is a summer low of 18 percent. NW swell still dominates the wave rose at 65 percent, with WNW and NNW each at 16 percent, but most of this energy is short-period, mid-summer background swell. There is occasional 1.5-2m NW groundswell, but it is often accompanied by the same northwesterly onshore flow that is also the most common wind direction. The sea breeze builds almost every day, so conditions go from clean dawn to windblown afternoon in a matter of hours. Water temperature reaches 21.6°C, air averages 20.0°C, and precipitation is only 1.7 mm/day. It is perfect for surf school sessions, but not for expecting Orio's winter power.
