Conditions at Arish in June
June: Summer Trade Winds Take Over
June is where the North Atlantic goes quiet and Arish settles into its summer regime. Average height holds at 1.4m (4.5-5ft), but the period falls to 7.4s, meaning short-period windswell dominates. The wave rose has shifted hard to the north: N swell accounts for 39%, NNE 28%, and NNW 31%. None of this is true groundswell; it is largely the product of the relentless NE trades pushing against the exposed Atlantic fetch. That same NE wind regime is boiling at 54% NNE and 24% N, and the ideal wind percentage sinks to 12%-a number that tells you how often the wind is actually light enough for clean conditions.
Despite the lack of long-period power, June still sees plenty of rideable, waist-to-shoulder-high surf. The key is timing: find the early-morning window before the trades peak, or hope for a weak synoptic gradient that lets the NE wind ease. Water temperature creeps up to 19.5°C, rain is essentially zero, and you will be trading quality for quantity.
