Conditions at Mekakoz in June
June: The Summer Lull Sets In
June is the beginning of the low season at Mekakoz. The average swell height drops to 3.3ft (1.0m) and the mean period dips to 9.2s, marking the return of short-period, low-energy swell. Directionally, the ocean still points at the beach: NW produces 54.1% of the wave energy, NNW 23.1%, and WNW 14.8%. But these waves are mostly small, 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) windswell pulses rather than true groundswell. The synoptic picture is dominated by the Azores High, which pushes the North Atlantic storm track far to the north and sets up a persistent NE-to-NW flow over the Cantabrian coast. That creates the worst possible wind combination for Mekakoz: NW winds blow directly onshore about 40% of the time, while the healthy offshore quadrants (S to WSW) account for a mere 9% of observations. The water warms to 18.8°C and the air to 18.0°C, but the surf is generally small and unruly. If you are not desperate for a wave, this is the month to enjoy other things - or to hunt for a rare summer groundswell.
