Conditions at Lagoa de Albufeira in June
June: Flat Spells and Windblown Summer Slop
June is the heart of the low season at Lagoa de Albufeira. The average swell height bottoms out near 1.1m (3-4ft) with a modest average period of 9.4s. Although NW still accounts for an incredible 49.2% of the swell and WNW adds 34.3%, the height distribution is overwhelmingly in the 0.5-1.5m (1-5ft) range, with only a tiny fraction reaching head-high. These are often short-period NW windswell pulses rather than true groundswell.
At the same time, the wind regime turns sharply against quality surf. NNW flow is present 44.1% of the time, and NW/WNW add another 27%, meaning most of the month is blown out by cross-shore to onshore northerlies. Ideal offshore E/SE wind falls to just 6% - the lowest of the year. The saving grace is the summer climate: air temperatures average 18.9°C (min 13.6°C, max 30.1°C), precipitation drops to 0.33 mm/day, and the water warms to 17.8°C. For surfing, however, June is a waiting game, with only the rare early-morning glass or late-season south push worth paddling out.
