Conditions at Ponce Inlet in July
July: Micro-Surf and Tropical Haze
July is the absolute bottom of the swell calendar. The average height bottoms out at 0.7m (2.3ft) with a period of 8.0s. The swell field is overwhelmingly dominated by ESE windswell - a massive 55.6% - while E contributes 16.9% and SE 13.2%. Only a tiny fraction arrives from the preferred NE to ENE window, so the spot struggles to hold any real size or shape.
The good news is a summer offshore flow: ideal wind is at its annual maximum of 55%, with SSW and SW winds frequently blowing clean. Yet clean micro surf is still micro surf. Water temp is a warm 27.7°C (81.9°F), and air averages 27.8°C (82.0°F). Expect ankle-to-knee-high rollers, best for a foamie, a longboard, or just staying out of the water until the first tropical swell of the season appears.
