Conditions at Cape St Francis in June
June: Midwinter Maximum, Directionally Challenged
Midwinter arrives. June sees the highest average swell of the year at 10ft (3.1m) and a period of 12.4 seconds, but ideal wind falls to 25 percent. The swell rose is still dominated by SW at 16.3 percent and SSW at 8.6 percent, and the small W/WSW window appears at a combined 3.0 percent. True E swell is down to 0.5 percent. Wind is increasingly strong from W at 24.5 percent and WSW at 12.8 percent, but NNW reaches 11.1 percent and NNE 5.5 percent, creating frequent onshore and cross-shore chop. With water at 17.2°C, air at 15.2°C, and rain at 0.88 mm/day, winter is fully in control. The rare clear, offshore day with an E swell is pure magic, but June is generally a low season for this exposed corner.
