Conditions at Faja dos Cubres in June

June: Summer Lull Sets In

June settles into the summer groove. The average swell height drops to 3ft (1.0m) and the average period to 8.5s, so most days are in the 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) range. The wave rose still shows familiar faces-W (12.8), WSW (11.9), NNW (11.4), WNW (9.3) and NW (8.7)-but these are predominantly short-period wind swells rather than long-range groundswell. There is also a notable east-northeast component (NE 5.6 percent, E 4.6), which adds little to the surf quality at a north-facing spot.

The wind statistics are friendlier: 19 percent of the time the wind is ideal for surfing, with SSW-SW offshore flow frequent (7.2 and 9.2 percent) and fewer gale-force events. Water temperature rises to 18.7°C and air to 19.1°C, so it is pleasant. Surf-wise, this is the beginning of the small, clean summer season-fine for a log or foil, but not for chasing winter slabs.
