June: Peak Power, Persistent South Wind
June brings the biggest average swell of the year at 1.9m (6ft) with an average period of 13.2s. The Southern Ocean is firing, and El Paso receives 76% of its energy from the SSW, plus 12% from S and 6% from SW. The bulk of waves sit in the 1.5-2m (5-7ft) range, but 22% reach 2-2.5m (6-8ft) and a touch of XXL looms over 2.5m (8ft+). This is serious, heavy surf for confident surfers.
The catch remains wind. Ideal offshore flow drops to just 2%, while S and SSW winds together account for nearly 77% of the wind distribution. The persistent south wind is often light but always present, adding lumpiness to the long-period swell. Water temperature cools to 16.5°C and air temps dip to 17.6°C. When a morning high-pressure ridge delivers a brief NE/E offshore, expect firing, dredging waves.
