Conditions at Zambujeira do Mar in June
June: Summer Windswell Slump
Summer arrives and the surf season bottoms out in quality. Average swell is 1.4m (4-5ft), period 9.2s, and the wave rose is locked into the NW and NNW quadrant - NW 52.4%, NNW 22.6%. This is largely Atlantic windswell rather than true groundswell.
Ideal wind is just 12%. The wind rose becomes a relentless NNW (36.2%) and NW (21.6%) machine, blowing cross-onshore and chopping up the already small waves. Air temperatures average 21.0°C, water temperature is 17.5°C, and precipitation is almost nil at 0.25mm/day. Dawn patrol before the sea breeze kicks in is the only real chance for clean conditions.
