Conditions at El Porto in June
June: Long-Period South Swell and Morning Gloom
June is the first full month of the summer pattern, but it is not flat. Average swell height is around 2.5-3ft (0.8m) and the average period stretches to 12.6s, indicating clean, organized groundswell. The swell rose shifts dramatically to SW and WSW, which together make up 74.2% of observations; W supplies another 18.8%. Most of that energy is in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range, with only small pockets of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf. For El Porto, those SW/WSW lines can offer soft, fun, rippable shoulder-high waves during the morning, but the power is noticeably down from winter.
Wind is the limiting factor. Ideal offshore conditions drop to 30%, while onshore SW and WSW flow makes up around 36% of the wind observations. The June gloom marine layer is often present as well. Air temperature averages 20.2°C, water temperature warms to 15.4°C, and precipitation essentially disappears at 0.08mm/day. If you can get out before the sea breeze, there are groveling, fun-size waves to be had.
