Conditions at Tifnit in June
June: Windswell and Onshore Flow - A Testing Month
June is one of the slowest months of the year at Tifnit. The average swell height drops to around 5ft (1.5m) and the average period sinks to 8.6 seconds, putting most waves in the short-period, average and punchy category. An extraordinary 80.0 percent of the swell comes from the NNW, with another 14.6 percent from NW; most of this is wind-driven sea rather than groundswell. The wind statistics are even worse for surf quality: ideal wind is only 5 percent. WNW is the leading wind direction at 32.4 percent, NW follows at 27.2 percent, and W contributes 13.3 percent - all onshore. The bulk of these winds are in the 10-30kph range, strong enough to chop up the lineup. Water temperature warms to 18.6°C, air averages 23.4°C, and rainfall is nearly zero at 0.10mm/day. There will still be small, clean-ish waves at first light on a rare offshore morning, but June is largely about finding something else to do.
