Conditions at Sandvik in June

June: Summer Lull Under the Midnight Sun

June settles into the summer lull as average swell height dips to 3-4ft (1.1m) and period drops to 8.8s-short-period, average and more prone to choppiness. Swell direction is still mostly from SW (24.8%), SSW (17.9%) and WSW (12.7%), but the heights are largely small, with the 0.5-1m range doing the heavy lifting. Ideal offshore wind is around 17% of the time, but the wind rose also shows significant NNW and NW flow, which can create less ideal textures at this west-facing spot. Air temperatures finally become pleasant at 9.1°C, water temperature reaches 9.8°C, and precipitation is the lowest of the year at 2.37mm/day. With endless daylight and small waves, June is ideal for longboarders and beginners, less so for anyone chasing serious Atlantic power.
