Conditions at Praia da Vieira in June
June: The Summer Lull Begins
June is where the real summer low kicks in at Praia da Vieira. Average swell drops to 4.5ft (1.4m) and the average period shortens to 9.3s, meaning the wave quality depends on shorter-period NW/NNW windswell rather than powerful groundswell. The dominant swell direction remains NW (41.2%), with WNW and NNW also well represented, but a good share of the total falls in the small 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range. The wind story is grim for quality: NNW blows 49.4% of the time and ideal offshore conditions occur only 9% of the time. As the summer high pressure and thermal low settle in, the beach gets chopped up regularly, leaving only the occasional clean, fun-size peak. Water temps reach 17.8°C and air averages 19.2°C, but the rain nearly disappears with just 0.70 mm/day. Bring a fish or longboard and lower your expectations.
