Conditions at Amoreira in June
June: First Summer Lull
Summer is knocking at the door. Average surf height sits at 4-5ft (1.4m) and the average period drops to 9.2 seconds. NW swell dominates even more, at 52.4 percent, with NNW at 22.6 percent and WNW at 17.1 percent. Most of this is shorter-period, locally generated NW windswell rather than true Atlantic groundswell; it can be fun on the sets but lacks the power of winter. The real problem is wind: ideal windows fall to just 11 percent, while NNW winds blow 43.5 percent of the time and NW adds another 18.9 percent. Those directions are almost directly onshore for the west-northwest-facing beach, so conditions are often bumpy and sectiony. Water temperature is 17.4°C, air averages 21.0°C, and rain is scarce. Bring a groveler and focus on the lighter morning sessions.
