Conditions at 8th Street Jetty in June
June: First Summer Lull
June brings the classic mid-Atlantic summer lull to the Jetty. Average wave height drops to 3ft (0.9m) and period slides to 6.9s, with the directional spectrum dominated by SSE (26.1%) and S (24.0%) plus a strong ESE (12.8%) and SE (18.0%) contribution. This is pure windswell and leftover ground energy - groveling territory, to be sure. What June lacks in size it makes up for in cleanliness: ideal offshore wind hits 45%, the high point to this point in the year, driven by morning WSW (8.3%) and WNW (6.1%) breezes and a well-developed sea breeze cycle. Water temps reach 17.8°C and air temps average 19.4°C, meaning you can ditch the booties and relish a long summer session. Just keep the expectations small; the real juice won't return until autumn.
