Conditions at Malhao in June
June: Summer Lull and the Full-On Nortada
June locks in the summer pattern. Average swell height falls to 1.3m (4ft), and average period drops to 9.3s, meaning most of the energy is locally generated or short-period NW windswell. The swell window is still dominated by NW at 54.7%, with WNW adding 23.9%, but the wave heights cluster in the 0.5-1.5m (2-5ft) range. Ideal wind tumbles to 11%, thanks to a persistent nortada: NNW winds blow 34.1% of the time and NW winds another 23.0%. This makes surface conditions challenging, especially on the afternoon push. The saving grace is that rain is almost absent at 0.32 mm/day, air temps average 21.0°C, and water temp warms to 17.3°C. If you are happy groveling on a summer longboard, there are still waves to be found, but premium Malhao surf is on holiday.
