Conditions at Orrua in June
June: The Azores High Takes Over
June is the true beginning of Orrua's summer lull. Average swell height sits at 1.0m (3ft) with a period of 9.2s, and the Azores High is now in charge. The swell rose still carries a heavy NW signal at 56%, but most of that is shorter-period windswell rather than true Atlantic groundswell. WNW chips in at 24% and NNW at 15.5%. Wind quality worsens significantly: ideal offshore winds drop to 23%, with S/SSW winds combining for only around 6%. In their place, a persistent N/NNW summer breeze blows up the beach and makes conditions fickle. Water temperature jumps to 19.1°C, air reaches 18.0°C and rain is only 2.00 mm/day. The surf is small, but a summer shortboard will still turn the better days into fun sessions.
