Conditions at Mindelo in June
June: The Summer Lull Begins
June marks the start of the summer lull. Average swell is 4.9ft (1.5m) with a 9.2s period. Swell is almost entirely from the NW and NNW - NW 32.3%, NNW 26.3%, WNW 23.3% - and mean periods are dropping into the average/punchy range. The summer Nortada wind takes hold, with NNW blowing 37.6% of the time and NW another 14.8%; ideal wind plummets to 19%. The result is small, short-period waves with lots of cross/onshore texture. Occasionally a late-season W/WNW groundswell will sneak through, but consistent clean surf is very much on hold. Water temp is 16.9°C, air temp averages 18.6°C, and precipitation is only 1.15 mm/day.
