June: Summer Small, But Directions Line Up
June delivers the heart of the summer small-wave season. The average swell height is 2.6ft (0.8m) with an average period of 6.5s, indicating mostly local windswell. The directional story is excellent: S (28.3%), SSE (18.7%), SSW (18.3%) and SE (13.1%) dominate the wave rose, but the height distribution is overwhelmingly small, with nearly all of that S energy in the 1-3ft (0.5-1m) range. Wind is the limiting factor: SW (18.9%), SSW (14.6%) and WSW (10.1%) are the top wind directions, so most of the day is onshore and bumpy. The 14% ideal-wind share usually comes at dawn before the sea breeze kicks up, offering clean 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) waves on a longboard. Water temperature climbs to 17.1°C, air averages 17.6°C, and precipitation averages 3.07mm/day. Occasional early tropical systems can interrupt the pattern, but June generally means small, rippable and crowded.
