Conditions at Maceda in June

June: Summer Lull Sets In

June is the start of the low season proper. The average swell drops to 1.0m (3ft) and period shortens to 9.3s. WNW still dominates at 44.0%, but NW is close behind at 38.2%, which means the beach sees a lot of short-period northwest windswell rather than true groundswell. The wind environment becomes hostile: ideal offshore wind only happens 13% of the time, with NNW at a whopping 40.8% and NW at 13.0%. That combo stacks up as small, bumpy waves along the exposed west-facing sand. Dawn patrol is the play, especially if the easterly thermal winds align. Air temps average 18.5°C, water 17.1°C, and precipitation is low at under 1mm/day. Keep the board bag light and chase the occasional northwest pulse.
