Conditions at Playa de La Concha in June
June: The Summer Doldrums
June marks the true start of the low season at La Concha. The average swell is just 3ft (1.0m), average period is 9.2s, and the majority of energy is short-period NW windswell rather than powerful groundswell. The direction is not the issue - NW accounts for 56% of all swell, WNW nearly 24%, and NNW another 15% - but most waves fall in the 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) range. It is fun-sized and grovelly at best.
The bigger problem is wind. Offshore flow is only present 22% of the time, while the broader W-NNW onshore sector blows more than half the month. With the Azores High now anchored over the North Atlantic, afternoon sea breezes from the N/NW kick in almost daily, chopping up the surface. Water temps rise to 19.2°C, air temps average 17.9°C, and precipitation drops to 2.27mm/day. Summer wetsuits and longboards are the call; look for dawn glass and any stray W/SW windswell window.
