June: Peak Winter Power at The Hoek
June is the heart of the South African winter and one of the most reliable months of the year for The Hoek. Average swell height reaches 2.8m (9.2ft) with a long-period 12.4s average, and the directional spread is packed with west in it: SW (19.2%), WSW (10.9%), W (2.9%) and WNW/NW (1.3%) combine for well over 30% of the wave rose. SSW reduces to 8.3% and S/SSE are much weaker than summer, so the waves are better lined-up and heavier. The wind data is equally encouraging: ideal conditions peak at 26%, the highest of the year. SE/SSE winds still appear 24.0% of the time, but the strong summer south-easterly has lost its grip, and there is more room for light offshore ENE/E/ESE/SE flow. NW/NNW winds run 32.2% as fronts push through, but the post-frontal clear-ups are excellent. Water temperature drops to 15.3°C, air averages 15.1°C, and rainfall peaks at 2.77mm/day. This is prime time - bring the step-up board and a proper wetsuit.
