Conditions at Antiques in June

June: Powerful Southern Swell, Mostly Windblown

June turns the volume up even more. The average swell height reaches 5.5ft (1.7m), the period is a strong 10.9s, and the combination of SSE and S swell accounts for 86 percent of the total energy. More than two-thirds of the surf is in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range, with close to 10 percent running 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m). There is no shortage of push at Antiques-the reef will be loading up with heavy, freight-train-type waves on the biggest days.

The catch? The southwest monsoon is in full force. SW, WSW and W winds dominate, and ideal offshore wind is only seen 24 percent of the time. Most June days will be lumpy, bumpy and hard to tame, with the onshore flow tearing the faces apart. Water remains a warm 29.7°C, air temperature is 28.1°C, and precipitation averages 4.12mm/day. For the committed crew, the occasional overnight NW wind event can transform the spot overnight, but patience and a solid quiver are required.
