Conditions at Amado in June
June: Summer Slumber and Persistent NNW Winds
June officially ushers in the low surf season at Amado. The average swell height drops to 1.4m (4-5ft), and the period sinks to 9.0s-waves are now predominantly short-period windswell rather than groundswell. The northwest direction still leads the pack at a massive 46.5 percent, but the wave heights are overwhelmingly in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range. The powerful, long-period swells of winter have vanished, and only small remnants of west-northwest energy at 14.1 percent provide any interest.
The wind picture is grim. The ideal offshore wind percentage falls to a meager 8 percent. The north-northwest wind direction explodes to 50.9 percent, with a robust 20-30kph and 30-40kph core. This means Amado is blasted by strong onshore winds for a majority of the month, creating lumpy, closeout-prone conditions. The water warms to 18.0°C, and air temps reach 19.9°C, making for a pleasant beach day, but not a good surf day. Precipitation is almost non-existent at 0.25 mm/day, thanks to the strengthening Azores High. Only the smallest of wobbly waves will be on offer, and only if you can find a sheltered corner or dawn patrol glass.
