June: The Summer Lull
June is the heart of the Dominican summer lull. Average swell height falls to just under 4ft (1.1m) and the period drops to 7.2s, the shortest of the year. The wave rose loses nearly all northern energy - E accounts for a massive 69.6% and ENE 26.0%, while NE and NNE combine for just over 3%. This is pure trade-wind swell, generated by local easterly winds in the tropical Atlantic, and it hits Destroyers as a short, cross-shore mess rather than a clean groundswell.
Wind patterns are equally difficult: ESE at 39.0%, E at 25.6% and SE at 25.0% dominate, with very few offshore S/SW days. The ideal wind percentage is 43%, but the few good-wind windows are usually small and short-lived. The water is warm at 27.6°C, air temperatures average 27.3°C, and 1.61 mm/day of rain is typical. If you are surfing June, bring a groveler and chase the tide changes.
