June: Winter Groundswell Machine
June plugs the coast directly into the winter storm track. Average swell sits at 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m), with a period of 11.9s, and the direction mix is now truly split. SSW accounts for 36.4%, SW for 29.4%, WSW for 9.0% and W for 4.3%. More west in the swell means more power and more angle for Waitpinga, especially when the southwest swells are stacked up. The 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) class is active, and there is even a little 8ft+ (2.5m+) energy.
Ideal wind remains strong at 31%. NNW is the top offshore direction at 14.1%, with solid contributions from NNE and NE. But this is also a stormy month on land. The westerly winds - W, WNW and WSW - are fierce, and rainfall peaks at 2.30mm/day. These systems are the engine behind the swell, but they also bring brief periods of onshore SW/WSW wind. Catch the post-frontal NNW flow and you will get heavy, lined-up groundswell. Air temps drop to 12.1°C and water to 15.5°C, so thick winter rubber is essential.
