June: Powerful Groundswell Meets Fickle Winds
June settles into the wet-season rhythm with solid, long-period surf. Average swell height holds at 1.4m (4.5-5ft) and the average period remains strong at 13.7s. SSW still dominates at 87.6 percent, with SW adding another 10.7 percent - a broad, well-aligned swell window for the southwest-facing beach. The percentage of waves in the 1.5-2m range increases to 21 percent, adding real push to the sandbar. But ideal wind sits at just 23 percent, and W and WNW winds become increasingly common, creating cross-onshore conditions that can chop up the lineup. Expect heavy rainfall around 7.80mm/day, air temperatures near 26.0°C and water at 29.0°C. Despite the mess, June delivers opportunities for morning surfers who can catch the lull between tropical showers and wind shifts.
