Conditions at Costa da Caparica in June
June: Summer Nortada Sets In-Small and Bumpier
June marks the true start of the low season. Average swell height is 1.1m (3-4ft), and average period falls to 9.4 seconds-technically more windswell than groundswell. The swell energy is heavily NW (49%) and WNW (34%), with only 9% from due W and almost no SSW/SW swell to speak of. The north/northwest wind machine is now firing: NNW blows 51% of the time, including large chunks of 20-30 and 30-40kph wind. With a WSW-facing beach, that means most of the day becomes bumpy, textured surf. The 'ideal wind' day drops to just 24%. For the dedicated surfer, June is all about pre-dawn missions, inside sandbars and grovel boards - but the small windows of clean 3ft waves do exist when the morning E/NE gradient fights off the nortada. Water is 17.5°C, air averages 18.9°C, and precipitation is a minimal 0.33 mm/day.
