Conditions at Sopelana in June
June: The Summer Lull Begins
June marks the official start of Sopelana's low season in terms of size, but not necessarily in terms of fun. Average swell heights ease to 1.0m (3ft), and the period shortens to 9.2s - solidly in the average, punchy band. The swell direction remains extremely NW/NNW-dominant, with NW at 54% and NNW at 23%, meaning the beach still sees rideable waves on most days. However, the wind pattern becomes more variable, and only 27% of the time is the wind truly ideal. Onshore W and NW directions occur often enough to turn the surface lumpy by midday, so early mornings are often the only window for clean conditions. Water temps climb to 18.8°C, making wetsuits more comfortable, and air temps average 18°C. This is small-wave season, not a reliable power-swell month.
