Conditions at Cap Gris-Nez in June
June: Summer Settles In
June confirms that summer is here. Average wave height remains at 2ft (0.6m), period drops to 5.0s, and ideal-surf frequency goes to 5%. NE/NNE swell still makes up a big part of the rose (18.0% and 15.4%), but the majority of that energy is in the 0-2ft (0-0.5m) and 2-3ft (0.5-1m) bins. Wind direction becomes dominated by WSW (20.9%) and SW (15.9%), which at least gives a decent offshore component for a north-facing beach, though WSW can put a side-shore chop on the lineup. With water temp rising to 15.4°C and air averaging 14.8°C, the beach experience improves quickly. For surfers, June is the start of the long summer grovel; only a fresh north sea windswell opening under one of the season's rare atmospheric rivers will produce anything more than clean-but-cruisy small waves.
