Conditions at Gnaraloo in June
June: The First High-Consistency Peak
June delivers the first true peak of the Southern Hemisphere winter. Average wave height rises to around 5ft (1.5m), period stays deep at 13.9s, and ideal wind remains strong at 33%. Swell is almost entirely SW (55.9%), SSW (17.1%) and WSW (14.1%), creating a relentless southwest groundswell conveyor belt from the Southern Ocean. There is more 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) energy in the mix now, and even a trace of N/NW swell appears as early-winter fronts push farther north. The wind regime favours SE to SSE breezes, which can be side-offshore for the NW-facing beach and workable, especially early. Water temperature drops to 24.6°C, air averages 19.3°C, and rainfall is the highest of the year at 1.53 mm/day. June brings consistency and power, especially when you catch a dropping wind on the right tide.
