Conditions at Playa Honda in July
July: Flat And Fired Up
July is the toughest month of the year for wave quality at Playa Honda. The average period collapses to 7.3s, the lowest of the year, and although average height reads 4-5ft (1.4m), that energy is almost entirely short-period northerly windswell. The swell rose is extreme: NNE alone controls 61% of observations, with N another 30%. The wind rose is equally lopsided - NNE pumps at 60.5%, and strong 30-40kph events are common, leaving the beach chopped and poor. The ideal offshore wind window is minuscule at just 4%. Air temps are warm at 21.7°C and water temps climb to 21.4°C, with almost no rain. This is the month for flat spells and blown-out micro days; only a rare southerly swell or a brief trade wind lull can save a session.
