Conditions at Playa A Frouxeira in June
June: Summer Lull Begins
The switch to summer is unmistakable in June. Average swell height drops to 5.2ft (1.6m) and the period declines to 9.1s, so the ocean starts to lose that deep-water groundswell punch. The good news is that the wave direction remains perfect - WNW (21.9%), NW (20.0%) and NNW (16.9%) account for nearly 60% of all swell - but it's mostly shorter-period, less-organized energy. The bigger problem is wind: NE winds ramp up to 17.4%, with NNE at 12.4%, and ideal offshore flow from the S/SSW/SW quadrant only shows up 18% of the time. These onshore northerly winds are the summer nemesis of Frouxeira. With water temp at 16.2°C and air at 16.4°C, it's pleasant enough, but you'll be hunting for those early morning or late-evening windows when the sea breeze dies.
