June: Bigger Winter Swell, Stiffer Winds
June marks the beginning of peak-size season. The average swell height climbs to 4.3ft (1.3m), with a healthy 12.6s period and 77% ideal wind. The SSW component is still dominant at 86.9%, but direct S swell jumps to 10.6% - a sign that the storm tracks are pushing energy from deeper in the south. The height distribution is solid: 67.2% in the 3.3-4.9ft (1-1.5m) band, 10.9% in the 4.9-6.6ft (1.5-2m) band, and even 0.1% flirting with 6.6-8.2ft (2-2.5m).
The tradeoff is wind. South flow dominates at 77.4%, with SSE at 15.7%, but speeds are higher - a substantial 18.4% of all wind observations sit in the southerly 20-30kph range. The ocean has more push, but the surface can get a little bumped. Water is 18.3°C and air 20.5°C, with almost no rain (0.07mm/day). This is winter in Peru: bring the 4/3 and pick your windows.
