Conditions at Playa Tivives in June
June: The Rainy Season Trough
June is one of the least exciting months at this southwest-facing beach. The swell map is all about long-period southern energy: SSW is 73.1% of all swell observations, with SW adding 16.4% and S 9.0%, and the average period remains 14.5s. Yet the average height is only 1ft (0.3m), and 99.4% of observations never reach even 1.6ft (0.5m). The real problem is wind: ideal offshore wind occurs 0% of the time, with onshore S/SSW/SW/WSW flow at nearly 40%. Rain is persistent at 5.36mm/day, air temps hold near 26.8°C, and the water is a warm 29.3°C. When a tropical wave or strong southern low sneaks in a proper 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) SSW pulse, Tivives can show a bit of shape, but those days are rare and often stormy.
