Conditions at Troia in June
June: Azores High, Tiny Waves and Sideshore Breeze
By June the Azores High has taken full control. Average swell height bottoms out at 3.5ft (1.1m) and average period compresses to 9.4s, the mark of short-period summer windswell. NW dominates the wave rose with 49.2%, followed by WNW at 34.3%, leaving only 9.3% from W and almost nothing from the classic SW window. It is essentially all northwesterly energy wrapping down the coast - okay for a log, but not Troia in its prime.
Wind is the bigger problem. The NNW trade flow rages at 37.7%, NW adds another 18.2%, and WNW another 10.7%, leaving only about 27% ideal surf wind. However, the onshore SW/W wind directions are not dominant, so the ocean is not completely blown out; rather, it is bumpy with sideshore texture. Air temps climb to 21.4°C and water hits 17.3°C, making it pleasant, but with just 0.39mm/day of rain and a 3.5ft average wave, this is groveler territory.
