June: Heavy Water, Bumpy Lines
The Southern Hemisphere winter begins to roar. June delivers the largest average swell of the year at 1.9m (6.2ft), with over 20% of waves in the 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) range and even a touch of energy over 2.5m. Periods are a robust 13.2 seconds. But the wind is the big story: the persistent S/SSW flow blows at 38% and 38.6% respectively, and ideal offshore winds drop to a mere 2%. This means Playa Norte is often a wind-blown, sectiony mess despite the size. Air temps dip to 17.6°C, water cools to 16.5°C, and rain remains a non-factor.
