Conditions at Cantinho da Baia in June

June: The Summertime Lull

June is the true start of the low season. Average swell is only 1.6m (5.2ft) at a short 9.2-second period, and the high-pressure ridge suppresses any serious storm activity across the North Atlantic. The direction is heavily NNW (38.9%) and NW (30.5%), delivering swell that lines up with the beach but lacks both size and period. The wind pattern turns monotonous: the NNW trade-like flow blows 50.5% of the time, leaving just 8% of the month with ideal surfing conditions. Rain is almost nil, water temp warms to 17.7°C, and the air is pleasant, but the surf is mostly crumbly and sectioned. Bring the fish or longboard and hunt for the rare morning glass.
