Conditions at Alvor in June
June: Summer Lull with Afternoon Thermal Winds
By June the North Atlantic is asleep. Average swell height falls to 0.8m (2.5ft) and the period to 8.9s, and the wave rose becomes incredibly concentrated in the north-west quadrant: NW 43.1 percent, WNW 30.1 percent, and W 10.0 percent. Alvor's SSW-facing beach is left with swells that have lost most of their direct push, producing small, sectiony waves. Ideal wind drops to 30 percent, with NNW 28.5 percent and NW 21.0 percent, though these often become cross-shore through the afternoon. Water warms to 18.5°C, air averages 19.9°C, and rain nearly vanishes at 0.25mm/day. Surfing is possible on a shortboard for small-wave specialists, but the reality is that June is a month of dawn patrol, foam boards, and longboard cruises until the next south-swell anomaly shows up.
