Conditions at Popov Island in June
June: Summer Droop
June is the beginning of the lowest period of the surf year. Average swell height bottoms out at 0.5m (1.5-2ft) with a 5.1s period, and the swell that does exist is almost all from the southerly quadrant: S 38%, SSE 27%, SE 18%, and SSW 13%. The direction is good, but the size is marginal, with the lion's share below 0.5m (1.5ft). Worse, the summer monsoon locks in southeasterly and southerly winds, with SE/SSE/S combining for over 60% of the wind, and the ideal wind percentage crashes to just 5%. These are mostly onshore, short-period conditions, turning the beach into choppy mush.
Air temps average 15.1°C, water reaches 14.1°C, and precipitation is high at 2.99mm/day. June is a good month for warm water and a fat softboard, not for epic waves.
