Conditions at Porto Covo in June
June: Summer Lull Begins
June is the official start of the summer low season. Average swell height sits at 4-5ft (1.3m) with an average period of 9.3s - punchy but short-period and heavily wind-dominated. Swell direction is overwhelmingly NW (55%), with WNW (24%) and NNW (13%) making up almost the entire spectrum. This is the classic Iberian summer setup: the Azores High pumps up, a thermal low forms over the peninsula, and the daily NNW wind blows 34% of the time, with NW adding another 23%, creating a messy, bumpy surface for most of the day. Ideal offshore flow drops to 11%, and the offshore wind directions themselves make up just 3% of the wind rose. That makes Porto Covo a dawn-patrol or early-morning-only spot in June. Water temperature is 17.3°C, air temperature averages 21.0°C, and rain is scarce at 0.32mm/day.
