June: Midwinter Power With a Side of Wind
June locks in the midwinter pattern. Average height remains at 1.8m (6ft), average period is 13.1 seconds, and S swell increases to 26.3 percent of total energy, including a notable 4.4 percent in the 2-2.5m range. SSW still leads at 69.6 percent. Ideal wind conditions fall to 58 percent, and the SSE trade wind is now blowing hard enough that 25 percent of its observations sit in the 20-30kph range.
This is not a wave-starved month; it is a wind-starved month. Cleaner conditions arrive early in the morning or when the pressure gradient relaxes. Air temperatures cool to 20.5°C, water temperatures drop to 18.6°C, and precipitation is virtually absent. June is for surfers who want size and are willing to battle a bit of bump for it.
