Conditions at Paul do Mar in June
June: First Summer Lull
June establishes the summer pattern. Swell averages drop to 1.5m (5ft) and the period to 9.3s, meaning a mix of short-period wind swell and weak groundswell. The dominant directions shift: NNW still owns 38.3%, but NNE jumps to 20.4% and N to 16.9%. This is largely north windswell generated by the trade winds; it runs straight down the coast and does not have the period or angle to properly focus on Paul do Mar's southwest-facing reefs. Offshore winds are excellent 46% of the time, with NNE alone at 37.8%, so the surface can be glassy. But the waves lack the size and push of winter: expect 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) peaks with the odd 5ft set. Air averages 20.0°C (17.0-23.8°C), water temp is 20.7°C, and rainfall is minimal at 0.22mm/day.
