Conditions at Cardoso in June
June: Cardoso's Prime Time
June is the benchmark month. S/SSW/SW energy peaks at roughly 27% of the total spectrum, with S alone delivering nearly 20% of all waves and SSW adding another 6.3%. The average period remains high at 9.7s, so swells arrive organized and powerful. Average height is 1.7m (5-6ft) but the S-specific distribution is loaded in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) classes, with a touch of 2.5m+ energy. Crucially, the wind is ideal a year-high 35% of the time, as NNE/NE winds blow offshore or cross-offshore around 36% of the month. The South Atlantic storm track is fully active, and every cold front sends a new pulse toward Brazil. Water temps are cold enough at 18.6°C to warrant a wetsuit, air temps sit at 17.9°C, and rain is moderate at 2.99mm/day. This is the month to score Cardoso at its best.
