Conditions at Madalena do Mar in June
June: Trade Winds and Small Waves
June introduces the low season in earnest. The average swell drops to 4.9ft (1.5m) and the period falls to 9.3s, producing mostly short-period, windswell-like surf. The distribution is heavily weighted to NNW (38.3%), NNE (20.4%), N (16.9%) and NW (14.6%), but with weaker energy and shorter intervals, the SSW-facing beach sees fewer organized, rideable waves. The saving grace is the wind: ideal offshore conditions peak at 51%, driven almost entirely by the north-east trades. NNE wind alone accounts for 37.8% of all wind observations, with NE adding 16.5% and NNW 14.9%. This creates clean, glassy conditions again and again, making the most of a small swell. Air temperatures climb to 20.1°C, precipitation drops to just 0.32mm/day, and the water warms to 20.7°C. Summer has arrived: bring a log or a mid-length and wait for the occasional long-period NW pulse.
