Conditions at Machico in June
June: Peak Offshore Consistency
June is Machico's most consistent month for clean, rideable conditions. The average swell height drops to 1.5m (4.9ft) and average period to 9.3s, so the ocean is more windswell than groundswell. Dominant directions are NNW (38.3%), NNE (20.4%), N (16.9%) and NW (14.6%); the E/SE window remains absent. What June lacks in size, it makes up in wind. A full 64% of observations are considered ideal for surfing-the high for the year-with the wind rose heavily stacked from NNE (33.9%), NNW (21.8%) and N (20.5%). This keeps the bay cleaner and more inviting than at any other point in the year. Water temperature climbs to 20.6°C, air averages 20.1°C, and rainfall nearly disappears at 0.32 mm/day. Mornings tend to offer fun-sized peaks on a small board.
