Conditions at Matadouro in June
June: Low Season Begins
June brings a further drop in both size and quality. The average swell height is around 5ft (1.5m) with a 9.2s period. The swell distribution is almost entirely NNW/NW: NNW 40.5%, NW 32.0%, WNW 17.4%, W 4.4%. Matadouro is still exposed to consistent summer north swell, but it is short-period, lower-energy and often wind-affected. Genuine long-period groundswell is rare.
Ideal offshore wind is just 6% - the second-lowest of the year. NNW winds blow more than 47% of the time, frequently between 20 and 40kph, creating messy, raggedy surf. With such persistent cross/northerly flow, the west-facing beach is often too lumpy to be any fun, even if the waves are head-high. The best chance for a decent session is an early-morning glass-off before the thermal north wind kicks in.
Air temperature averages 18.9°C, water temperature is 17.5°C, and rain is almost absent at 0.38mm/day. The 3/2mm wetsuit will be enough, but expectations should be low.
