June: Summer Lull Meets Clean Mornings
June marks the start of the summer lull alongside the Médoc. The average swell height drops to 4ft (1.2m), the average period shortens to 9.2 seconds, and the Azores High begins to suppress the North Atlantic storm track. Swell direction is dominated by WNW at 53 percent and NW at 20 percent, with most wave heights in the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range. Ideal wind falls to 28 percent, the second-lowest of the year, as afternoon thermal onshore flow from NNW and NW becomes the norm. Water temperature climbs to 18.8°C, air averages 18.5°C, and precipitation is low at 1.88 mm/day. Early mornings deliver the cleanest, most glassy conditions, but the waves will be small and punchy rather than powerful.
