Conditions at Barbate in June
June: The Summer Flatness Settles In
June signals the true beginning of Barbate's summer low season. Average swell height falls to 0.9m (3ft) with an average period of only 7.4s, meaning the ocean is dominated by short-period windswell from the WNW and a growing amount of E/Levante sea. The Azores High has locked in, pushing the Atlantic storm track well to the north. Ideal offshore winds drop to 23%, and the afternoon thermal westerly combines with the Levante to keep the surface bumpy. That said, the long summer daylight and warm water at 19.5°C make it an appealing beach day, and small morning waves on a longboard can still be found, especially if a late-season low sends a quick pulse of W/NW swell. Air temperatures average 20.8°C and rainfall is almost nonexistent at 0.25 mm/day. Keep expectations low and the boardbag packed for autumn.
