June: Flat Calms and Thermal Wind Cat-and-Mouse
June marks the true start of the low season at Il Porto. Average swell height bottoms out at 0.5m (1.6ft), and average period dips to 4.2s. Despite an overwhelming amount of S (16.1%), SSW (12.8%), SW (16.5%) and WSW (18.1%) swell direction, the total energy is minimal. The tables show that more than half of all swell events are below 0.5m, and only a few percent of the time does the combination of direction and height exceed 1m (3ft).
Thermal winds take over the daily rhythm. Mornings often offer light offshore breezes from the N/NE quadrant, but the window is brief; by afternoon the seabreeze clocks around to S/SW and puts windslop on the water. Offshore wind totals just 12.5% of the time, and ideal surf conditions occur only 7% of the time. Water temperature climbs to 21.7°C, air temperature averages 21.7°C, and precipitation is low at 1.06 mm/day. If you are in the water, it is for a paddle and a tan, not for performance surfing. The saving grace is warm water and a complete lack of crowds.
