Conditions at Hornbaek in June
June: Midsummer Micro and Westerly Slop
June settles into summer. Average wave height remains 1ft (0.4m), period 3.6s, ideal wind 3%. The wind and wave roses are dominated by W/WNW: wave energy from W 16.1%, WNW 16.9%, NW 10.2%; wind from W 15.2%, WNW 13.8% and WSW 8.3%. With winds blowing from the same western quadrant as the waves, Hornbaek sees plenty of short-period, side-shore slop. The frequent westerlies are part of the North Sea summer pattern, but Hornbaek's north-facing orientation makes them wrong-direction swell. Water temperature reaches 14.9°C and air averages 14.9°C, yet the summer sea breeze and lack of open-ocean groundswell keep surf marginal. Early mornings can offer clean, knee-high peaks before the westerly breeze builds, but true rideable days are rare.
