Conditions at Praia da Rocha in June
June: Summer Flatness and High-Pressure Dominance
June is the first true low season month. Average swell height falls to 2.6ft (0.8m), and average period drops to 8.9s as the Azores High locks in and storm tracks retreat far to the north. The swell rose is almost entirely a northwesterly affair - NW makes up 43% and WNW adds 30% - while the optimal S-SSW-SW-WSW window is just 5.5%. This produces short-period, locally generated swell that struggles to wrap into the bay with any real power. Ideal wind is at 28%, with NW and NNW winds (21% and 28.5%) often creating a bumpy morning sea that worsens with the afternoon seabreeze. Water temperature is 18.5°C, air averages 19.9°C, and rain is almost nonexistent at 0.25mm/day. The early glassy sessions are for small-wave craft only.
