Conditions at Lafitenia in June
June: Dawn Patrol Doldrums
June settles firmly into the low season. The average swell height is 0.9m (3ft) and the average period is 9.4s, meaning the surf is too often short-period swell rather than true groundswell. The direction is still good, with NW at 54.8% and WNW at 36.6%, but the energy is lacking. The 0.5-1m (1.5-3.3ft) category absolutely dominates the distribution, and most waves are soft, crumbly and better suited to a longboard or a high-volume shortboard.
Ideal wind conditions crater to 15%, and the thermal wind machine starts to spin up. NNW winds contribute 17.3% of the total wind distribution, while W and WNW add another 28.8%, so clean surface conditions are rare and almost always confined to the early morning. Air temperatures warm up to 17.9°C, the water climbs to 19.6°C, and rainfall is lower at 2.27mm/day. If you are chasing quality in June, go at first light, find a sandbar that still has some shape, and accept the grovel.
