Conditions at Les Sables d'Or in June
June: Windswell Season Arrives
June is the first official month of the summer lull. Average swell height drops to 3ft (0.9m) and the average period falls to 9.4s, meaning the swell is less organised and more wind-driven. Direction is still dominated by NW (54.8 percent) and WNW (36.6 percent), with NNW adding another 7.0 percent, but the waves are mostly short-period and lack the punch of winter groundswell. Around 80 percent of the month comes in at 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m), and the overhead sessions are few and far between.
The wind story is worse. The ideal offshore share bottoms out at 17 percent, while W, WNW, NW and NNW winds combine for over 60 percent of the wind rose - almost all of it onshore. Sea breezes kick in nearly every afternoon, chopping up the already modest surf. Water temperature rises to 19.2°C, air temps average 18.5°C, and the small but cleanest waves are found in the early mornings. Patience is the key word for June.
