Conditions at Ericeira in June
June: Trade Wind Chop
June is dominated by the summer trade wind regime. Surf size remains modest at 1.5m (5ft) on average, with periods around 9.2s. NNW swell is king, accounting for over 40% of the wave directions, followed by NW and WNW. Most waves are in the 0.5-2m range, with the odd bigger set on exposed NW breaks. The catch is wind: only 7% of the time does the NE-ESE offshore flow show up. The prevailing NNW wind blows 20-40kph for long stretches, churning up the surface and making the west-facing reefs bumpy and hard to surf cleanly. Water temperature climbs to 17.5°C, air temps settle near 18.9°C, and rain is almost unheard of. If you score a dawn session with light offshore flow, you'll find fun, rippable waves - just don't expect winter's power.
