Conditions at Praia de Monte Gordo in June
June: Summer Lull and Windswell
June truly marks the beginning of the low season. The average swell height shrinks to 0.5m (1.6ft) and the period bottoms out at 4.9s, with an offshore wind percentage of just 21%. Nearly all wave directions are anchored in the 0-0.5m (0-1.6ft) and 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) classes. The most promising swell is SE at 13.7%, of which 8.5% is 0.5-1m and 2.6% actually reaches 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) - enough for the occasional small glassy wave during periods of morning N/NNW wind.
Winds are dominated by a strong NNW current (27.5%), with NW at 13.2%, so the beach does see frequent offshore/northerly airflow. But the quality of surf is ultimately limited by tiny, short-period swell. Air temps average 21.6°C, rain essentially disappears at 0.26mm/day, and the water warms to 20.4°C. The foam board or high-volume twin-fin becomes the tool of choice, and the dawn patrol is the only window worth pursuing.
