Conditions at Ria Formosa in June
June: Micro-Swell Season
June is the start of summer flat season at Ria Formosa. Average swell drops to 2ft (0.6m), period to 6.9s and ideal wind to 12 percent. The wave rose is dominated by W (22.9 percent), WNW (25.3 percent) and NW (15.5 percent), with almost everything under 3ft (0.9m). There is also a notable SE/ESE component from local sea breeze and thermal effects, which usually shows up as windswell rather than groundswell. Winds are mostly from the northern quadrant, especially NNW at 21.3 percent, but true N/NE offshore windows are scarce. Sea surface temperature climbs to 18.8°C and air temps reach 21.3°C with almost no rain, so it is lovely for a beach day but only marginal for surf. Grab a foamie or longboard and treat it as a warm-up.
