Conditions at Bantham in June
June: Small Swells, Sea Breezes Onshore
June is the official start of the low season. Average swell height bottoms out at 3ft (1.0m) and periods sag to 7.7s. The swell direction remains westerly - WSW (34.5%), W (20.6%), SW (11.5%) - but most waves are below 5ft (1.5m), with a lot of 2-3ft (0.5-1m) golf ball surf. Ideally you want offshore winds, yet only 16% of the time does the wind blow from the NE-E quadrant. The summer pattern brings increasing west and southwest winds - WSW, SW and W collectively exceed 35% - plus afternoon sea breezes from the same sector, putting a chop on the surface. On the bright side, the weather is much more pleasant: air temp averages 14.2°C, sea temp improves to 14.3°C, and precipitation is low. Persistent surfers can still find small, clean corners in the mornings before the onshore kicks in, but there's no power to write home about.
