June: Peak Winter Power and Persistent Chop
June is peak winter, and the South Pacific storm track has fully shifted northward. Average swell height holds at 6-7ft (1.9m), with a 13.2s period. SSW still dominates at 75.8%, but the S component jumps to 11.6%, adding a more southerly, often locally wind-driven component to the mix. A large slice of the surf-nearly 62%-falls in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) and 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) brackets, with a trace of 2.5m+ (8ft+) energy. At the same time, S and SSW winds combine for over 76% of all wind observations, and a further 11% blows from the SW-all onshore for Oscar Point. Ideal offshore flow is effectively zero. With air at 17.6°C and water at 16.5°C, June is for the big-wave crew who don't mind working for it. Clean conditions are rare, but when they happen, the point will have serious size and power.
