Conditions at Fence in June
June: Deep-Winter Power and Heaving Lines
June brings the full force of the Southern Ocean to Fence. Average swell height climbs to 7-8ft (2.3m) with a 12.4s period, and the swell direction split flips to SW (26.2%) and SSW (21.9%) as the dominant signals. These are long-period, powerful waves, with a large chunk of the distribution in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range plus a noticeable share of 8ft+ (2.5m+). The wind aspect is more challenging: WSW and W both total 15.8%, but strong NNW/NW winds also become common at 12.3% and 9.1%, and ideal surf wind only appears 22% of the time. When a frontal system moves through and the wind clocks into the W/SW/WSW quadrant, Fence can hold a serious, heavy, pumping wave. Water temp drops to 18.2°C, while air averages 16.4°C.
