June: Small but Punchy North Swell
Summer has arrived in the North Atlantic. Average swell height drops to 1.5m (5ft) and period averages 9.3s. The wave rose is dominated by windy, local NNW-NNE energy - NNW 38.3%, NNE 20.4%, N 16.9% - which can produce short-interval, chop-prone surf at Achadas da Cruz. True W/WNW swell is minimal, so the spot relies on NW and NNW fetch from the local trades. The wind regime is decidedly unfavourable: NNE (37.8%) and NE (16.5%) blow consistently, with ideal offshore wind only 7% of the time. This is low season. If you score it, expect small to fun-sized surf in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range with occasional head-high sets. Water temp climbs to 20.7°C, and 3/2mm springs are fine.
