Conditions at Hovden in June
June: Summer Windswell and Longboard Waves
June at Hovden is about small, wind-driven summer surf. The average height remains 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m), the average period drops to 6.6s, and ideal wind conditions fall to just 9%. The wave rose is heavily NNW-dominated at 26.8%, with NW 15.2%, W 14.7%, and WSW 10.8%, but almost no energy above 5ft (1.5m). Most of what rolls in is short-period, locally generated windswell from the Norwegian Sea, and it rarely has the duration or power to produce quality lines. NNE winds are the standout at 21.6%, which helps keep the surface glassy on the west-facing beach, but S winds at 13.9% and the increasing summer sea breeze are always a threat. Air averages 11.5°C, water reaches 10.8°C, and precipitation is moderate at 4.02 mm/day. For the average surfer, June is a small-wave month best kept honest with a longboard or a foil.
