Conditions at North Point in June
June: The Southern Ocean Machine Switches On
June is a proper winter kick in the teeth. The average swell height jumps to 8.5ft (2.6m) and the period holds at 12.9 seconds, producing powerful, heavy waves. The swell direction broadens west: SW still provides 20%, WSW 14.5%, W 5.4%, and WNW/NW add further west-northwest energy. These are long-fetched, storm-forced groundswells generated by intense Southern Ocean lows - the kind of surf that can make North Point look much heavier and more serious.
The catch is wind. Ideal surf wind drops to 17%, while onshore WSW, W and WNW winds make up the largest chunk of the wind rose, often blowing 20-50kph. Rainfall reaches 3.98 mm/day and air temperatures drop to 15.6°C, with water cooling to 18.7°C. June is all about timing: pick the windows between fronts and you will find thick, powerful lines; pick the wrong day and it becomes a battle.
