June: The Onshore-Swell Season
June ushers in the true low season. Average swell is 0.9m (3ft) with a 9.4-second period, and the swell rose is dominated by NW (54.8%) and WNW (36.6%) - most of it windswell generated by local northwesterly breezes rather than distant cyclones. Heights are mostly in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) band, with occasional 1-1.5m (3-5ft) pulses. The wind regime is challenging: offshore E/ESE/SE/SSE flow comprises only about 11% of observations, and onshore flow from W through NNW is present 63% of the time. Ideal conditions clock in at just 17%. With water temp at 19.2°C and air at 18.5°C, you can surf in boardshorts or a springsuit, but wave quality is poor. If a summer depression spins up in the Atlantic, we can get a brief spike of NW groundswell, but it'll almost always be accompanied by wind. Patience is the name of the game.
