Conditions at La Pared in July
July: Peak Summer Flatness and the Lowest Wind Window
July sits at the bottom of the yearly curve. The average swell height is only 4ft (1.2m), and the average period is the shortest of the year at 6.1s. Swell is almost exclusively from E (51.1%) and ENE (47.4%), leaving basically no room for the favorable north/northwest swell window. The wave energy is short-period, disorganized, and overwhelmingly wind-driven, producing small, bumpy conditions that rarely string together.
The wind pattern is the most persistent of the year. E winds are present 57.6% of the time, with ESE at 22.8% and ENE at 16.4%; ideal offshore wind barely registers at 1 percent. For surfers, July is about managing expectations - dawn patrol windows are almost nonexistent, and most of the beach faces relentless cross-onshore trade winds. Water temperature is a warm 28.5°C, air averages 27.9°C, and rainfall is 3.83mm/day. If you catch a rare day with less wind, the small E/ENE swell can still be fun on a longboard.
