Conditions at Praia Azul in June
June: Thermal Northerlies Take Over
June is where the summer pattern locks in. The average swell height drops to around 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) and the average period slips to 9.2s, giving the waves a more windswell character. Swell direction is overwhelmingly NW and NNW, with a good chunk of WNW mixed in. That sounds good, but the problem is wind: NNW blows over 37% of the time, NW adds another 15%, and ideal offshore flow is down to just 16%. The result is a mostly cross-shore, bumpy sea surface and softer, less organized waves. Still, the beach is on the west coast, so any lull in the north wind can leave waist-to-chest-high waves that are perfectly grovelable. Water temp is 16.9°C, air temps reach 18.6°C, and rain is scarce. If you surf June at Praia Azul, make it your mission to find the dawn window.
