Conditions at Playa Ostional in June
June: Consistent Pumping SSW/SW
June locks into a steady diet of SSW/SW groundswell. The average height reaches 1.5m (5ft), the period remains a long 13.9s, and SSW (72.5%) and SW (22.3%) dominate the spectrum. More than a quarter of the SSW swell is in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) class, with a few 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) sets, so it is consistently pushing the 'pumping' threshold. Wind is light and variable, but the favourable NE offshore flow strengthens slightly compared to May, keeping ideal wind at 49%. Bad winds from SW/W are lower than in spring. June is prime surf season: warm 29.1°C water, air temp 27.3°C, frequent tropical rain (6.59mm/day), and long, powerful swell hitting the beach with minimal mid-latitude interference.
