Conditions at El Barco in June
June: Micro Trades and Waist-Deep Summer Slop
June is one of the slowest months of the year at El Barco. Average swell height bottoms out near 1.2m (3.9ft), the period drops to a windswell-like 7.3s, and the N/NNW window essentially disappears. The wave rose is almost entirely east-E accounts for a massive 78.6% and ENE another 15.2%-so the swell approaches from a poorly aligned direction for this north-facing bay, leaving mostly short, grovelly waves on the sets.
Wind statistics show ESE and SE at 42.4% and 25.7%, typical of the summer trade wind regime. Yet the wind is ideal 51% of the time, and with smaller waves that can make it rideable for a log or small-wave shortboard. The ocean is bathwater warm at 27.7°C, air temperatures average 27.5°C, and rainfall is moderate at 1.26mm/day. Bottom line: keep expectations low, but a few fun waves can appear when a tropical disturbance passes north and kicks up cleaner easterly swell.
