Conditions at Mahe in June
June: The Southwest Monsoon Swell Machine Fires Up
This is the big change. Average swell height jumps to 2.5ft (0.8m), period is 9.7s, and the swell window unlocks: W (61.8%) and WSW (31.5%) pour straight into the beach. Over 95% of recorded waves are now above the 1.5-2ft (0.5m) mark, and roughly 16% deliver 3-5ft (1-1.5m) or bigger. As the monsoon establishes, low pressure over northern India and strong cross-equatorial flow create a steady stream of westerly swell. The catch is wind: W/WSW/SW flow blows around 35% of the time and is directly onshore, but ideal wind windows sit at 20%, leaving workable slots-especially in the mornings. Rain is heavy at 20.57 mm/day, air temperature averages 26.4°C and water temperature is 29.3°C. This is the start of the real season.
