June: Peak Size Arrives, Quality Becomes a Gamble
June reaches the average swell height peak of about 6ft (1.9m) with a 13.2s period. The distribution is fierce: over 21% of the SSW swell is in the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) range, with almost 0.5% above 8ft (2.5m). The S component also grows to 12%, indicating increasing contributions from more southerly Southern Ocean systems. This is heavy water. At the same time, the wind turns more consistently southerly: S and SSW total 76%, with a meaningful 16.6% of SSW winds in the 10-20kph range. Ideal offshore wind drops to just 6%. For a spot that needs clean, glassy surfaces to make the most of a WSW-facing bank, June is a gamble: you can score heavy, powerful waves when a dawn offshore window coincides, but most of the time it is an onshore, lumpy challenge. Water temperature drops to 16.5°C.
