June: Trades on Full Blast
June is the month the trades take full control of Hawaii. A massive 83.6% of all wind observations come from the ENE, a record for the year, and much of that is in the stiff 20-40kph bracket. This relentless offshore flow, while clean in direction, is simply too strong for long stretches, which is why the ideal surf wind number collapses to 10%. On the wave front, average height holds at 5ft (1.5m) but the period slips to 11.4s, and the swell rose funnels dramatically: E (37.1%), ESE (23.3%) and SE (13.5%) combine for a 74% share of energy, all of it trade wind swell. The favored S/SSW/SW/WSW window withers to 4.5%. The upside is that E/ESE swell wraps beautifully into the southwest-facing curve of Waikiki, producing small, beautifully shaped corners - perfect for loggers and beginners. Water temps warm to 25.8°C, air temps reach 25.2°C, and the rains back off to 0.96 mm/day; just get in before the howling trades tear up the surface.
