Conditions at Snapper Rocks in June
June: Early Winter Groundswell
June signals the arrival of winter, and with it one of the year's longest average wave periods at 8.9s. Average height eases slightly to 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m), but the direction mix spreads across ESE (25.7%), E (22.1%), SE (21.2%) and SSE (12.3%), giving the point more variety and occasional wrapping groundswell from the Tasman Sea. This is proper mid-sized point surf rather than the windswell months of summer.
Wind is still very good for the spot: S (18.1%), SSW (15.9%), SW (8.4%) and SSE (9.8%) combine for an ideal wind score of 59%. The bad N/NE wind share remains small. Air temps fall to 11.5-24.4°C, water is 21.7°C, and rainfall is 3.07mm/day. A little more rubber is needed, but the surf quality holds up.
