Conditions at Taghazout in June
June: The Calm Before the Summer
June is the bridge into the summer doldrums. The average swell height is 1.6m (5.2ft), with the period bottoming out to 8.4s. The wave rose is almost laughably one-directional: a staggering 78.9% of all swell arrives from the NNW, with only 12.3% from the NW and 1.2% from the WNW. This is short-period, northerly-flowing energy - punchy at best, but often messy and weak on the points.
Wind quality is 39% ideal. The gradient between the Azores High and the Sahara low drives persistent NNW (35.7%) and NW (30.3%) trades, frequently in the 20-30kph range. With such a large north/northwest component, the wind blows down the coast and puts a cross-chop on the water. The offshore E/NE light winds are scarce (E 1.2%, NE 1.7%, NNE 4.2%).
Air temperature climbs to 21.1°C (max 35.3°C), precipitation nearly disappears (0.10mm/day), and water temperature reaches 17.9°C. June is for the dedicated longboarder or summer traveler - not for the strike mission.
