June: The Roar of the Forties
June is peak winter consistency for Bells Beach. Average swell height sits at 1.3m (4ft) with an average period of 12.6 seconds, and the Southern Ocean is firing deep low-pressure systems toward Victoria. SW swell dominates at 39.9%, SSW at 26.4% and WSW at 10.6%, giving the SE-facing bight a steady diet of powerful groundswell. The 1-1.5m class still contains the majority of the waves, but the percentage of 1.5-2m and 2-2.5m SSW/SW swell continues to grow.
The wind regime is excellent. Ideal offshore conditions reach 54%, with NNW at 16.4%, WNW at 15.3% and NW at 13.7% providing frequent clean surfaces. Water temperature drops to 14.4°C, air temperature averages 12.0°C and rainfall increases to 2.66 mm/day as frontal systems roll through. This is proper Bells weather: cold, powerful, and consistent. If you want hollow, hard-breaking reef waves in the 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) range, June delivers more often than not.
