Conditions at Watergate Bay in June
June: Summer Slumber and Westerly Windswell
June marks the true arrival of summer surf at Watergate Bay. The average swell is down to 3.5ft (1.1m) and the period has shrunk to 8.8s - the first month where the dominant wave type is clearly windswell rather than groundswell. W and WNW directions are still frequent, totaling over 60% of all swell, which means the beach continues to see waves, just with much less energy behind them. Heights mostly peak in the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range, and many days ride as soft, crumbly beach peaks. The wind becomes the main enemy: ideal offshore flow occurs only 18% of the time, while W and NW winds are common and onshore. Sea breezes also kick in during the afternoon. Water temp rises to 14.6°C, air temp averages 14.5°C, and precipitation is 2.39mm/day. Look for early morning sessions with an E/SE breeze and a small board.
