Conditions at Meia Praia in June
June: Summer Mode - Small but Rippable
June locks in summer mode. Average swell height is just 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m), with an average period of 8.9s. The wave rose shows a massive NW (43%) and WNW (30%) dominance, while the favourable south/southwest window barely reaches 5%. This is the classic Portuguese trade-wind summer set-up: plenty of northwesterly windswell but not much of the long-period energy that makes Meia Praia really fire.
Winds are ideal only 28% of the time, and the north/northwest flow is strong - NNW dominates at 38%, NW at 25%, WNW at 9%. Those are offshore directions, so the surface can be clean, but at 20-40kph they can also create choppy, bumpy faces. Water temperature climbs to 18.5°C, air averages 19.9°C, and rainfall drops to 0.25mm/day. Small, punchy waves are on offer for those willing to work for them.
