Conditions at Pedrogao in June
June: Summer Windswell and Persistent Onshore Flow
June is when summer sets in for real. The average wave height drops to 4.6ft (1.4m) and the average period falls to 9.3s, meaning the swell is increasingly wind-driven and less powerful. Swell still comes from the northwest quadrant: NW 41.2%, WNW 24.1%, NNW 23.9%, W 6.1%, WSW 1.8%, so the beach is never completely flat, but the energy is marginal and often junky. Ideal wind reaches only 9%, as the Iberian thermal low helps produce an almost constant NNW wind at 49.1% of the time, with NW adding another 11.1%. That is a direct onshore wind for a west-facing beach and it spoils most of the surf. Air temperatures average 19.2°C (range 8.8 to 35.8°C), precipitation is very low at 0.70 mm/day, and water temperature climbs to 17.8°C. If you find a morning with offshore breeze, expect clean but small conditions.
