Conditions at Luz in June
June: North Wind, Faint Southern Hope
The summer doldrums settle in during June. Average swell height drops to 4-5ft (1.4m) and the period shortens to 9.0s. NW dominates with 46.5% and NNW a striking 29.5%, but the southerly window is a ghost at just 0.3%. The thermal low that forms over the Iberian Peninsula strengthens the N/NNW flow, making the wind direction perfect but the swell completely wrong. The result at Luz: mostly small, crumbly waves, unless a rare thunderstorm or a remnant cold front pushes a southern swell up from the Atlantic. Water temperature climbs to 18.2°C, air to 19.9°C, and rain is almost absent at 0.25 mm/day. This is a month for surf travel elsewhere or for the patient logger in the summer sun.
