June: The Ocean Catches Its Breath
June signals the official summer slowdown. The average swell height drops to 3ft (1.0m) and the period to 9.3s. The northwesterly direction is still dominant - NW 53.8%, NNW 25.2%, WNW 12.7% - but the energy is noticeably smaller. The bulk of the waves are in the 0.5-1m range (27.3% from NW alone), enough for a longboard but far from winter grunt. The wind pattern becomes the main story. The ideal wind percentage falls to 23%, as the Azores High locks in and thermal lows develop over the Iberian Peninsula. NE-E winds are common (NE 8.0%, ENE 11.0%, E 8.6%) and tend to be onshore/cross-shore at Arenillas. The westerly/northwesterly band (WNW 15.2%, NW 10.6%, NNW 9.8%) also blows often, putting surface chop on the lineup. Air temperatures are pleasant at 18.0°C, precipitation is 1.83mm/day, and water warms to 18.8°C. If you are chasing clean waves, dawn patrol is the play before the sea breeze adds texture.
