Conditions at Hellesto in June
June: Midnight Sun, Minimal Energy
June is the doldrums. The average swell height sits at 2-3ft (0.8m), but the average period crumples to 6.2s, and the ocean is dominated by short-period, locally generated windswell. NW is the most common swell direction at 30.5 percent, yet more than 70 percent of that NW energy is under 1m, so the west-facing break barely wakes up. The ideal wind percentage hits the annual low of 5 percent, while NNW winds crank up to nearly 30 percent of all observations, producing bumpy, cross/onshore conditions that are the enemy of clean surf. Water temps have warmed to 12.1°C and air temps average 12.3°C with endless daylight, but the trade-off is obvious: small, weak waves. If you find a rare June swell, keep expectations low; this is primarily a flat-season month.
