Conditions at Yerbabuena in June
June: The Azores High Takes Over
Summer officially begins, and so does the seasonal slump. June's average wave height is 3.0ft (0.9m) with a short-period 7.4s. The swell rose is a reflection of the summer patterns: WNW at 51.2%, W at 16.1%, and E windswell at 13.9%, but the lack of period makes most of that energy weak and disorganized. For southwest-facing Yerbabuena, there is very little direct S/SW swell in the water, so the beach relies on local windswell and weak Atlantic pulses rolling through the Bay of Biscay.
Ideal wind drops to 21%, the lowest of the year so far. The east is the dominant wind quarter, with E at 22.2% and ESE at 12.0%, producing cross-shore texture typical of summer afternoons. W and WNW winds also appear often at 17.9% and 10.3%, so mornings are usually the only time for clean conditions. Water temperature climbs to 19.5°C, air averages 20.5°C, and rainfall is nearly zero at 0.20mm/day. Keep expectations low, the board short, and your eyes on the forecast for any tropical wave sending a rare south pulse.
