June: Trade Winds and Small Swell
June is when the Azores High really takes hold. Average swell height slides to about 3ft (1.0m), average period is 8.5s, and the S/SSW/SW window remains around 14% but with most of its energy in the 1.5-3ft (0.5-1m) range. The wave rose is all about WSW, W and NNW swells - directions that are not ideal for this south-facing beach. What the summer lacks in size, though, it makes up for in wind: N/NNE/NE/NNW offshore flow reaches roughly 31% of observations, with ideal surf conditions occurring 25% of the time. The result is glassy morning waves and clean, rippable small surf.
Air temperatures climb to a pleasant 19.1°C (min 14.4°C, max 24.1°C), water temperature is 18.7°C, and rainfall is low at 1.51mm/day. If a distant low or tropical ripple sends a S/SW pulse toward the islands, June can surprise, but base expectations should be for small, fun, high-performance waves rather than pumping groundswell.
