Conditions at Porto Batel in June
June: Summer Windswell Takes Over
June officially signals the summer pattern. Average swell height drops to 5ft (1.6m) with a shorter period of 9.2s, meaning more local windswell than true Atlantic groundswell. The swell direction is overwhelmingly from the NNW at 38.9%, with NW at 30.5% and WNW at 17.5%. Most of the energy is in the 3-6ft range, but it lacks the linger and push of winter. Ideal wind falls to 27%, and the wind rose becomes extremely NNW-heavy at 50.5%, including a massive 25.4% share in the 20-30kph bracket. While that is offshore for Porto Batel, the strength and short periods make for bumpy, less clean surf. Water temperature reaches 17.7°C, air averages 18.3°C, and rainfall is scarce. Summer surfers will find fun, groveling waves rather than powerful grinding lines.
