Conditions at Cova da Alfarroba in June
June: Summer Low Tide in Full Swing
June is prime summer-exposure territory: consistent but much weaker waves. Average swell drops to 5ft (1.6m) with a 9.2-second period, and the majority of energy arrives from NNW (39%) and NW (31%), with WNW (18%) in the mix. While the direction is actually quite good for the beach, the lack of size and punch makes it small-to-average. The real enemy is wind: NNW blows a remarkable 51% of the time, and combined with NW (11%) and N (8%) the beach is frequently locked into strong onshore conditions. Ideal S/SSW/SW winds fall to 16%, the second-lowest of the year. Add in very low rainfall (0.47mm/day), air temps of 18.3°C and water of 17.7°C, and June is a small-wave month for the patient, groveling surfer. Best bet is dawn patrol or the rare west/southwest frontal ripple.
