Conditions at Playa de la Garita in July
July: Peak Summer Trade Winds
July is the toughest month to find quality surf at Playa de la Garita. The average swell actually ticks up slightly to 4-5ft (1.4m), but the period compresses to 7.3s-punchy and rideable in theory, yet almost always blown apart by the trades. NNE swell dominates an extraordinary 61.2% of the time, and NNE winds match it at 62.4%, frequently blowing 20-40kph. Ideal offshore wind registers a paltry 3%. This makes for choppy, short-period, cross/onshore conditions that will test your patience more than your skill. Air temperatures reach 21.7°C, water warms to 21.4°C, and rainfall is negligible at 0.03 mm/day. If you are chasing clean waves, look elsewhere in the archipelago.
