June: Summer Cleanliness Hits Its Stride
June marks the real shift to summer surf. The average swell is 5ft (1.5m) with a period of 9.3s. The wave rose shows a massive NNW pulse at 38.3%, plus NNE at 20.4% and N at 16.9%, while W and SW directions are almost absent. Because the energy is short-period and largely windswell from the north, Ponta do Paul gets less refraction and more crumbly conditions; it still works, but seldom with the power of winter.
Wind is ideal 45% of the time, as the summer thermal pressure gradient generates strong NNE flow at 37.8% and NE flow at 16.5%. Air temperature averages 20.0°C, water jumps to 20.7°C, and rainfall is minimal at 0.22mm/day. You can wear a 3/2mm, and dawn patrol often offers the cleanest conditions before the afternoon seabreeze picks up.
