June: Trade-Wind Pulse Meets Cross-Shore Mess
June offers a glimpse of summer potential, but the wind is the spoiler. The average swell height rebounds slightly to 0.9m (3ft), and the average period actually improves to 8.0s, with NE swell making up 85% of the spectrum and another 14.6% from ENE. The height distribution reveals 33.4% of NE swells in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range, so the raw wave energy is not bad at all. However, ideal wind frequency plummets to 27%, and the wind rose is dominated by strong NNW (25.1%) and NW (23.3%) flow. Those directions are cross-shore to the beach, making the surf sectiony and harder to read. Early mornings can still offer short windows of clean conditions before the afternoon breeze kicks in. Water temperature is 29.0°C and rainfall is high at 8.94mm/day.
