Conditions at Saunton Sands in June
June: Dawn Patrol Season
June is the first true summer-surf month. The average swell height holds at 3.6ft (1.1m), but the period drops to 8.3 seconds, so power is hard to find. W swell dominates at 41.5%, with WSW at 26.0%, yet most of that is short-period Atlantic windswell rather than groundswell. Ideal wind falls to just 16% as the Azores High takes control and thermal westerlies develop nearly every afternoon. WSW and W together make up nearly 23% of wind observations. Air temperatures average 14.0°C, water warms to 14.8°C, and with 2.5mm/day of rain it is pleasant but fickle. The classic June strategy is get there at dawn before the sea breeze, when the outgoing tide and an offshore E/NE breeze can turn small waves into clean little fun peaks.
