June: Maximum SSW Groundswell and Rainy-Season Texture
June is the purest swell month of the year. The wave rose shows an incredible 96.0% of all energy arriving from SSW, with only a tiny SW component elsewhere. The period is a very solid 13.9s and the average height remains 1.1m (3.5ft), with roughly half of all waves in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class and about 44% in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) class. The catch is wind: ideal conditions drop to 50%, and the wind rose spreads out with SW (12.1%), WSW (12.4%) and W (9.9%) reducing the amount of clean offshore flow. N-sector winds are still present but lighter, totaling about 27%. Rain is heavy at 10.43mm/day, air temp averages 27.1°C and water temp climbs to 28.8°C. The swell is there every day; you just have to find the windows with lighter winds.
