Conditions at Assinie in June
June: Serious South Atlantic Grunt
June is the beginning of the biggest-wave stretch of the year at Assinie. The average swell height reaches a solid 4ft (1.3m), the period holds at 11.5s and the direction tables show 74.9% S and 25.0% SSW, with a meaningful 6.8% of S swell in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range and 4.3% of SSW at the same height. This is proper groundswell generated by strong mid-latitude South Atlantic lows, and it is hitting the coast with a very resolved direction. The catch is that ideal wind falls back to just 3%, and the monsoon is in full force. SSW (30.2%) and SW (29.2%) winds dominate, with most of that in the 10-20kph bracket.
Rainfall peaks at 9.20mm/day, air temperature drops to 26.1°C and water temperature cools to 27.2°C. Expect powerful, lumpy, challenging surf. On days when the wind briefly shifts offshore or drops, Assinie can be firing, but those are rare June jewels.
