Conditions at Xivares in July
July: Deep Summer Doldrums
July is the slowest month of the year. Average swell bottoms out at 2.6ft (0.8m) and the average period is only 8.7s - choppy, messy, and low-confidence. The swell roses still point NW (43.8%) and NNW (35.1%), but it's almost entirely small: NW has 27.1% in the 0.5-1m range and NNW has 23.7%. Ideal wind plummets to 15%, the lowest of the year, as the thermal-driven N/NNW sea breeze becomes a daily nemesis. ENE (18.5%) and NE (15.7%) dominate the wind tables, creating side-shore texture. Air temps peak at 19.3°C, water warms to 19.6°C, and precipitation is a meager 1.09 mm/day. Surfing is still possible for the dedicated, but it's usually groveling, bumpy, and lacking power - better enjoyed with a thick board and zero expectations.
