June: Winter Swell Arrives
June solidifies the winter regime. The average swell holds at 2.1m (6.9ft) with a period of 11.7 seconds. The swell direction spreads a bit more, with WSW at 32.1%, but W and WNW contributions up to 16.7%, and even a notable SSW/SW component. This means larger, more powerful groundswell trains hitting the coast. Wind quality is the main issue: ideal conditions drop to 18%, the lowest since autumn. Onshore W and WNW winds are frequent, and the southeast offshore flow is still there at 11.5% but not as dominant. When the wind does go east, expect heavy, barreling waves in the 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) range. Water temps fall to 15.6°C and air averages 13.0°C, demanding a thicker wetsuit. Precipitation peaks in June at 4.88 mm/day, so be prepared for rain and moving lows.
