Conditions at Murtosa in June
June: The North Wind Machine
June is the start of the true summer lull. Murtosa still sees plenty of waves-the average swell is 1.5m (4.9ft)-but the average period drops to 9.2s and quality becomes a battle. Swell direction remains dominated by NW at 37.6%, WNW at 23.9% and NNW at 22.7%, yet most of that energy is short-period, wind-driven surf rather than organized groundswell. The 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) class is the busiest, with a healthy chunk of 1.5-2m (5-6.6ft) waves from NW and NNW still appearing. The wind is the overwhelming factor: NNW wind accounts for 43.0% of observations, NW adds 13.0%, and the ideal-window frequency drops to 14%. Offshore E/ENE/ESE/SE winds become rare, leaving Murtosa exposed to chop and closeouts for most of the month. Air temperatures average 19.1°C, precipitation drops to 0.86 mm/day, and water temperature reaches 17.4°C.
