Conditions at Praia Grande in June
June: Summer Lull Sets In
June is a quiet month at Praia Grande. The average swell height drops to 5ft (1.5m) and the period to 9.2 seconds, so the ocean relies mostly on short-period NW/NNW energy. NNW swell carries 40.5 percent of observations, NW 32.0 percent, and WNW 17.4 percent, while W adds 4.4 percent. There are still waves in the water, but they are noticeably weaker than spring. The wind regime turns consistently summery: NNW flow is recorded 51.9 percent of the time, NW adds 11.5 percent, and N 8.4 percent. Ideal offshore wind plummets to 6 percent, and many afternoons see NNW winds in the 20-40kph (13-25mph) range. The combination of small swell and strong northern gradient wind keeps quality low. On the rare day with an early east/southeast breeze, it is possible to find clean, waist-to-shoulder-high waves, but expectations should be managed. Air temperatures average 18.9°C (min 12.0°C, max 31.9°C), precipitation is only 0.38 mm/day, and water temperature climbs to 17.7°C. Summer is beginning in earnest.
