Conditions at 7 - 11 in June
June: Summer South Swell Doldrums
June marks the official start of the 7-11 summer slump. Average wave height drops to 0.8m (2.5ft), periods shrink to 6.7s, and the wave spectrum becomes dominated by short-period SSE and S windswell. There is plenty of movement in the water, but most waves are soft, bumpy and hard to connect for more than a few turns.
The wind pattern shifts decisively to the southwest, with SSW and SW combined at 27% of the observations, and ideal conditions hover around 42% -- usually thanks to light morning offshore flow before the sea breeze builds. Water temps jump to 19.1°C and air averages 20.6°C, making spring suits the call. Tropical storm activity is still limited early in the basin, but if a disturbance rides up the Gulf Stream, June can throw a surprise SSE swell into the mix. Otherwise, think small-wave practice and longboard glide.
