June: Southern-Hemisphere Pulse Meets Summer Onshores
June keeps the southern-hemisphere swell running strong. Average swell height is 3.6ft (1.1m), average period a healthy 13.7s, and the S and SSW combination makes up 97% of the directional distribution. The height distribution shows a distinct shift toward 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) waves, with 29.6% of S and 31.7% of SSW energy in that range, and a modest 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) component sneaking in. The problem is wind: ideal surf conditions drop to 38%, the lowest of the year along with July and August. SE, SSE and S winds each dance around the 9-10% mark, making the surface bumpy and drift-prone for much of the day.
Air temperatures average 26.4°C and water temperatures warm to 26.2°C, with rain still uncommon at 0.13mm/day. This is a month for early dawn patrols and for reading the local wind shadows; if the breeze stays light or goes offshore from the W or NW quadrant, the 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) S and SSW swell can produce unexpectedly fun, hollow waves at Nine Palms.
