Conditions at Palplanche in June
June: The Engine Turns On
June is when the South Atlantic truly roars to life and Palplanche's best surf season locks in. Average wave height climbs to around 2ft (0.6m) with a meaty 12.7s period, and 81.5% of all swell sits in the 1.5-3ft (0.5-1m) band, mostly from SW, which contributes 71.8% of the wave rose, and SSW at 27.1%. The wind regime becomes very favourable for the NW-facing beach: S wind strengthens to 30.2%, SSW to 43.7% and SW to 17.3%, with frequent 20-30kph pulses. Although only 26% of the time is ideal, the near-absence of W/NW onshore flow means surfaces are mostly clean. The wet season dries up dramatically at 0.80mm/day, air temps drop to 24.7°C and water temps cool to 25.8°C. This is consistent, long-period, small-to-fun surf, and the closest thing Palplanche gets to a reliable summer season.
