Conditions at Cova do Vapor in June
June: Summer Flatness Begins
June kicks off the lowest energy period of the year. Average swell height is 1.1m (3.5ft) and period falls to 9.4s-right in the average, punchy range but bordering on choppy. The swell direction is almost entirely NW (49.2%) and WNW (34.3%), with only a slim 9.3% from the W and a trace of WSW/SW. Those NW/WNW swells are not ideal for Cova do Vapor's SW-facing beach; they wrap inconsistently and lack the power to properly groom the sandbars. The wind is ideal only 29% of the time. NNW (51.2%) becomes the dominant wind, with a narrow band of NW (13.6%); much of it blows 20-30kph, making mornings the only clean window. Air temps average 18.9°C, water 17.5°C, and rain is scarce at 0.33mm/day. Summer small-wave gear is essential.
