Conditions at Sao Lourenco in June

June: Summer Slump Begins

June is the start of the low season at Sao Lourenco. The average swell height is 1.5m (4.9ft) and the average wave period is just 9.2s. Nearly all the energy is NNW (40.5 percent) and NW (32.0 percent), with very little true W or WSW groundswell. These are mostly short-period, wind-driven waves rather than organized Atlantic swell.

The wind regime turns aggressively summertime: NNW winds blow 47.3 percent of the time and ideal offshore wind occurs only 5 percent of the time. This combination produces small, lumpy and often cross-shore waves. Still, the water warms to 17.5°C, air reaches 18.9°C and rainfall drops to almost nothing.
