Conditions at Sao Torpes in June
June: Summer Slump and Northwest Windswell
June sees the Azores High lock into place and the Atlantic surf engine throttle down. Average swell is 1.3m (around 4ft) with a 9.3s period - the first month to fall below the 10s mark. The wave rose is extremely NW-dominant: NW at 54.7%, WNW at 23.9%, NNW at 12.7% and W at 5.2%. What energy there is comes mostly as windswell or short-period groundswell, with a lot of 0.5-1.5m surf.
Ideal wind drops to 17%. NNW winds are by far the most common at 30.5%, backed by NW at 23.0% and WNW at 13.9%, creating persistent cross-shore and onshore texture. Water temperature rises to 17.2°C, air averages 21.0°C, and rainfall drops to a scant 0.32mm/day. Expect small, groveling conditions unless a rare North Atlantic low sneaks through.
