Conditions at The Island in June
June: Deep Southern Ocean Fury
Winter hits its stride in June. Average swell height peaks at 7ft (2.1m) with an average period of 10.9s, and the S swell sector is the outright king at 19.3% of the rose. SSE (12.1%) and SE (9.0%) add plenty of energy, while SSW (6.0%) brings the occasional true south-southwest pulse. The wave-height distribution skews heavy: the S column is full of 1.5-2m (5-6.6ft) and 2-2.5m (6.6-8.2ft) groundswell, with half a percent sneaking over 2.5m (8.2ft) - charging territory. Winds remain favorable 47% of the time, with NW (12.0%), NNW (11.9%) and WNW (13.4%) all well represented, although SW (12.1%) and SSW (8.9%) are frequent enough to keep you watching the wind maps. Water temps drop to 15.0°C, air averages 10.2°C, and rain is at its wettest (3.50mm/day). This is heavy, powerful, fully committed surfing - bring the step-up board.
