June: Winter Gears Up and the Heavy Water Arrives
By June, the Southern Ocean is operating at full volume. The average swell height jumps to 2.6m (8.5ft) and stays above 12.9s period, meaning long-period, high-energy groundswell is coming straight from the heart of the Indian Ocean's westerly storm belt. SW (20.4%), WSW (14.5%) and W (5.4%) combine to make a powerful, organized west-south-west swell field. The caveat is wind: the same frontal systems that generate the swell also pile on the SW, W and NW winds, making the lineup more challenging. Ideal wind drops back to 21%, and you'll need to pick your windows between frontal passages and cold fronts. Water temp falls to 19.0°C, air temps to 15.6°C, and rainfall jumps to 3.98 mm/day. If you're hunting the big, heavy, charging-size waves, June is when Margaret River starts to live up to its fearsome reputation.
