Conditions at Playa de Traba in June
June: Summer Lull, but NW Swells Refuse to Die
June marks the real transition into low season. Average swell drops to around 5ft (1.6m), average period to 9.0s, and the surf becomes more windswell-influenced. However, the direction is still remarkably good: WNW (20.0%), NW (19.1%) and NNW (19.1%) dominate the rose, which means that whenever an Atlantic front sneaks far enough south, Traba is the first place to light up. The problem is the frequency and size of those fronts, not the exposure.
The thermal high tightens and the wind rose locks into NE (25.0%) and NNE (17.7%). These winds are not directly onshore at Traba, but they add cross-chop and make the waves soft. Clean offshore flow is less common - SSW (7.5%), SW (8.5%), WSW (6.2%) - and the ideal window drops to 15%. With water temps at 16.0°C and air averaging 16.6°C, you can surf in trunks on a sunny day, but bring a board with volume for the lumpy smaller surf.
