June: Peak Power, Rainy Season Locks In
June is one of the swelliest months on the Esterillos calendar. The average height reaches 4.5-5ft (1.4m), the period stays strong at 13.7s, and the SSW direction continues to dominate with 87.6% of the energy. Notably, the SW component rises to 10.7%, adding a slightly more westerly angle that can change the sandbar dynamics. Over 21% of the waves now break in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range, and there's a real chance of 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) bombs on the outer sandbars.
The trade-off for all that size is wind. Ideal surf wind sits at just 31%, with a messy spread of SSE (9.9%), SW (9.9%), W (9.8%), WSW (9.7%), S (9.6%) and WNW (9.4%). The northwesterly quadrant is present but not super dominant. Expect a punchy, powerful south swell with lumpy surface texture unless you catch a dawn window or a passing cold-front outflow. Air temps average 26.0°C, rain sits around 7.80mm/day, and water temp is 29.0°C.
