Conditions at Guethary in June
June: Summer Lull, Short-Period NW Pulses
June is the first month of the true small-summer season. Average wave height falls to 3ft (0.9m) and the average period shortens to 9.4s. NW swell dominates the rose with 54.8%, followed by WNW at 36.6% and NNW at 7.0%. The directions are still fine, but the period is marginal - much of this is short-period, locally generated windswell rather than the long-period groundswell of winter. Around half of all waves are in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) category, with a few 3-5ft (1-1.5m) NW pulses thrown in.
Ideal winds are scarce at 16%. The NNW, WNW, NW and W sectors combine for about 63% of all wind, and once the sun warms the land, the onshore component chops up the surface. Water temperature climbs to 19.6°C and air to 17.9°C, so summer rubber or a springsuit is fine. Keep your expectations in check, or take the dawn patrol window for the cleanest possible conditions.
