Conditions at Matosinhos in June

June: Summer Lull Locks In

June settles into the summer pattern. The average swell is around 3ft (1.0m), with the average period down to 9.3s, a far cry from the winter groundswell furnace. The bulk of the energy is WNW and NW, and it is increasingly short-period windswell rather than long-period groundswell. Only a small fraction of waves reach the 5ft (1.5m) mark, making the inside sandbanks the place to be on groveling gear. Wind is ideal about 40% of the time; the rest is a steady NNW/NW flow, which can be cross-shore on the southwest-facing beach. Water temp climbs to 16.9°C, air temps average 18.5°C, and the precipitation is minimal at 0.97 mm/day. The surf is small but often clean; chase the early offshore window and you can still find fun, rippable waves.
