Conditions at Borkum in June
June: Peak Summer, Peak North Sea Chop
June is representative of the summer low season: average swell height 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m), average period 5.6s, ideal wind 8%. The waverose shows the most persistent NNW swell of the year at 32.4% - but look at the breakdown: 8.0% is under 0.5m, 15.3% is 0.5-1m, and only 0.7% reaches 2-2.5m. This is the classic summer pattern of local sea breeze windswell rather than real groundswell. The wind data are dominated by NNW at 12.5%, NW at 9.8% and WNW at 9.8%, meaning the wind is usually blowing from the same direction as the waves, creating messy, lumpy, onshore conditions. Occasional dawn windows with SW/SSW winds can salvage a small clean day, but expectations should stay low. Water temperature rises to 15.8°C and air temperatures average 15.1°C, with precipitation at 2.23 mm/day. The appeal in June is more about beach days than epic surf.
