Conditions at L'Ideale in June
June: Micro Swells and Morning Windows
June is definitely low season at L'Ideale. The average swell height drops to around 1.5-2ft (0.5m) and the average wave period is only 4.2s, meaning most days produce weak, disorganized 1-2ft (0.3-0.6m) slop. The direction rose is actually full of WSW (18.1%) and SW (16.5%) energy, but nearly all of it falls into the 0-0.5m class; there is simply not enough storm energy in the Mediterranean to generate proper swell. S swell (16.1%) adds more textured, onshore-oriented mush.
Ideal wind percentages fall to just 7%, with daily thermal winds from the NW and S/SE competing. The best chance for a surfable wave is early morning before the sea breeze develops. Water temps warm to 21.7°C, air temps average 21.7°C, and rainfall drops to 1.06mm/day. This is the month for a fish or grovel board - and low expectations.
