June: The Swell Window Opens, The Wind Closes It
June is a classic frustration month. The S-SW swell window is wide open - SW contributes 43.3%, WSW 35.7% and SSW 4.3% - and the average wave height climbs to 2-3ft (0.8m) with a 6.6s period. There are certainly 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves in the mix, especially from the SW sector. However, ideal wind is just 11%, with SSW (21.4%) and S (16.8%) winds blowing straight onshore. The result is bumpy, lumpy surf that is hard to read, even when the swell pulses are present. June also brings wet-season conditions: air temp 26.5°C, water temp 30.5°C, rainfall 10.19 mm/day. Look for a tropical cyclone passage to swing winds around to the offshore quadrant and clean things up.
