Conditions at Tapia de Casariego in July
July: Flat-ish and Onshore - Persistence Pays
July is the heart of summer, and Tapia de Casariego feels it. The average swell size is a marginal 2.6ft (0.8m) and period sinks to 8.5 seconds, the lowest of the year. Even though the directional data still shows a dominance of NNW (37.5%) and NW (33.9%) swell, the tables are filled with sub-1m energy; the 0.5-1m class accounts for the vast majority, and there's almost nothing above 5ft (1.5m). The wind picture is grim for a surfer seeking quality: only 21% of the time does the wind blow offshore from the S/SSW/SW/WSW quadrant. The dominant winds are NE (22.6%) and ENE (19.3%), both onshore and typically 10-20kph - enough to put a persistent chop on the surface and close out the tiny peaks. Water temps peak at 19.1°C, air temps at 18.7°C, and rain is scarce (1.05mm/day), which makes it tempting to just skip the surf. But the few early mornings with a light offshore wind and any leftover north pulse can still offer playful, small-size waves for the frothiest among us.
