Conditions at Lista in June
June: Northwesterly Winds and Small Windswell
June is firmly within the low season at Lista. Average swell height remains around 1.1m (3.5ft), while the average period drops to 6.1s-short-period and often choppy. The dominant swell sources are NW and WNW, which together account for more than 45% of the wave rose. Those directions are poor for a SW-facing beach, and much of this energy arrives as windswell generated by storms in the Norwegian Sea. There is still a notable S/SSW/SW/WSW signal in the data, about 27% of the total, but most of it falls in the 0.5-1.5m range and lacks the period to push through. On the wind side, WNW and NW winds are strongest throughout June, adding up to over 42% of all wind observations. Offshore N to ENE winds occur only 7% of the time, making glassy surface conditions a rarity. Air temperatures average 13°C and water temperatures climb to 12.6°C, so the summer wetsuit season begins. June surf is best suited to logs, soft tops, and novelty morning sessions.
