June: Windswell Season and Onshore Northerlies
June is the midpoint of the low season. The average wave height is 1.2m (about 4ft) and the average period is just 8.1 seconds, so most of the energy is local windswell rather than Atlantic groundswell. The swell directions are still from the N/NNE/NNW side of the compass: N at 30.7 percent, NNE at 35.7 percent and NNW at 28.8 percent, but the height distribution clusters in the 0.5-1m and 1-1.5m range, with the NNE quadrant producing some 1.5-2m windswell. The wind picture is grim for clean surfing. NNE is at 41.4 percent, N at 26.7 percent and NNW at 22.8 percent, so nearly the entire month is onshore flow. Ideal offshore wind is only 2 percent of the time. The result is usually small, choppy, blown-out conditions, although the long summer daylight and warm water (20.5°C) make it a pleasant place to be if you can find a sheltered nook. Air temps average 20.8°C and precipitation is essentially zero at 0.04mm/day.
