Conditions at Vanimo in June

June: The Trade Wind Slump

June signals the beginning of Vanimo's low season. The average swell height drops to 0.6m (2ft) and the average period down to 8.0s, leaving mostly short-period, locally generated windswell. NE and ENE together account for over 81% of the wave energy, with the vast majority in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) class. It is rideable, but lacks the push and power of the monsoon months.

Ideal wind drops to 45%, while the trades blow strongly from E, ESE and SE about 45% of the time. This is the month to pick your windows carefully, look for sheltered spots, and surf smaller tides or reef corners that handle the trade chop. Water remains warm at 29.4°C.
