Conditions at Freshwater West in June
June: Summer Lull and Sea Breezes
June brings the start of the low season to Freshwater West. Average swell drops to 3.6ft (1.1m) with a short 8.0-second period, and while the direction remains overwhelmingly favorable - WSW at 43.0%, W at 15.8% and SW at 12.5% - the energy is mostly small and weak. This is the time of year when the ocean turns into a warm, mushy windswell machine. The wind regime also turns against the beach: WSW winds blow 11.2% of the time, SW 10.1%, and SSW 8.3%, all of which wreck the wave shape. Ideal offshore wind drops to just 18%, and the daily sea breeze often creates afternoon lump. NNW winds are actually the most frequent single wind direction at 13.3%, providing a cross-offshore texture on the better days. Water temp rises to 14.6°C and air averages 13.9°C, but the surf quality is a far cry from the winter months.
