June: Small, Clean and Building Summer Reliability
June marks the bottom of the average period curve at 7.9s, and the average swell height softens to 1.4m (4-5ft). NNE expands to a massive 81.3% of the wave energy, with most waves in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class and a secondary 1.5-2m (5-6ft) block. The good news is the wind: NNE still leads at 64.0% and NE adds 21.8%, but the strongest 30-40km/h winds become less frequent, and the percentage of ideal surfing conditions more than doubles to 14%. Water temperatures rise to 23.4°C and precipitation is nearly negligible. It is a small-wave month, but with offshore trade winds and clean conditions, a groveler's Ponta Preta is on offer.
