Conditions at Piha in June
June: Heavy Midwinter Groundswells
June is pure winter at Piha. The average swell remains a solid 6ft (1.9m), the period is 12.7s, and the swell mix becomes more westerly: SW 34.7%, WSW 24.1% and W 10.0%. This directional spread creates powerful, sometimes raw surf on the open west-facing beach, with much of the energy in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range and a growing percentage of 8ft+ (2.5m+) monsters. Unfortunately, ideal offshore winds drop to 21%, with SW and WSW winds frequently spoiling the surface. When a high-pressure ridge delivers E/NE winds, June sets can be thick, hollow and world-class. Water temps drop to 15.4°C and average air temps to 13.9°C.
