Conditions at Cortegaoa in June
June: Summer's Onset, Windswell Mode
June is the beginning of the low season. Average swell height is 3ft (1.0m) with a 9.3s period, and ideal wind conditions are down to just 14%. The wave field is dominated by WNW (44.0%) and NW (38.2%), but these are mostly small, short-period windswells, with 60% of waves below 1.5m. The wind pattern is the enemy: NNW (40.8%) and NW (13.0%) combine for over half of all wind observations, blowing straight onshore at the west-facing beach. When a rare easterly sets up, you can find clean, waist-to-chest-high waves, but they are inconsistent. Water temps are up to 17.1°C (63°F), air averages 18.5°C (65°F), and rain plummets to 0.97 mm/day - summer is here, but the surf is not.
