Conditions at Hondarribia in June
June: Summer Lull
June marks the beginning of the low season at Hondarribia. The average swell height sits at 1.0m (3ft), the average period drops to 9.2s, and the surf loses the power that defined the winter. The dominant direction is still NW at 56%, with WNW at 24% and NNW at 16%, but most of that energy is in the 0.5-1m range-fun for a fish or a longboard, but hardly firing.
The wind pattern becomes heavily northwesterly: NNW leads at 17%, WNW follows at 16%, NW at 13%, and W at 13%. Even though the ideal wind statistic reads 37%, much of that occurs in the morning glass-off. The afternoon WNW sea breeze is a routine spoiler. Hunt for the morning tide and the occasional longer-period late-season pulse.
Summer is arriving: air temps average 17.9°C, water temps jump to 19.3°C, and precipitation falls to 2.27 mm/day. It is warm enough for a spring suit and a shortboard, and there are fun little waves when the ocean cooperates.
