Conditions at Santa Comba in June
June: Early Summer Windswell
June brings the official start of summer and a noticeable drop in wave quality at Santa Comba. The average swell height slips to 1.5m (4.9ft), the period shortens to 9.2s, and only 18% of the time is the wind ideal. Swell is still from the northwest quadrant: NW (23.8%), WNW (23.3%), and NNW (21.1%) make up over two-thirds of the observations, but most of this is short-period windswell generated by the summer trades and passing lows in the North Atlantic. The prevailing wind pattern is NE (17.4%), NNE (12.4%), and ENE (11.8%), all of which are unfavorable, creating choppy and lumpy conditions at the beach. The sea breeze is also stronger by June, so the morning is often the best time to find clean if small waves. Water temp warms up to 16.2C, air temp averages 16.4C, and precipitation drops to just 1.51mm/day, so at least it's pleasant to sit in the lineup. June surf is mostly for beginners or longboarders looking for small, soft rollers.
