Conditions at Whale Beach in June
June: Southern Ocean Groundswell Under a West/Northwest Flow
June brings full winter conditions. The wind is ideal 59% of the time, with the offshore quadrant dominating: WNW 12.0%, NW 11.4%, W 10.9%, WSW 10.2%, NNW 10.0% and SW 8.9%. Swell periods average 9.5s and average height is 1.4m (4.6ft). Swell sources are strongly southern: SSE 21.1%, S 15.1%, SE 15.8%, ESE 11.2%, E 8.1%, ENE 3.8%, SSW 4.6% and SW 2.3%. This east-facing beach does not see the S/SSE energy dead-on, but refraction and the long period mean the waves are still solid and rideable, particularly when a stronger E/SE component is mixed in. The most common wave heights remain 1-1.5m (3-5ft), with a healthy share of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) and some 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) sets from the SSE/S directions. Air temps drop to 12.8°C, water temp to 19.1°C and precipitation is 2.8mm/day. This is consistent, powerful winter surf.
