Conditions at Florence in June
June: The Summer Lull Takes Hold
June marks the official start of the low season along the central Oregon coast. The average swell height slips to 5.5ft (1.7m) and the period drops to 10.1s, signaling a clear shift toward shorter-period summer energy. WNW (23.8%) and W (23.2%) still appear, but NW (19.5%) and NNW (13.4%) gain serious ground. This is the transition to a summer swell regime: mostly windswell and shorter-period NW pulses rather than the powerful, long-interval winter groundswells.
Wind quality becomes the major limiting factor. Ideal conditions are down to just 12% as NNW winds dominate a full 44% of the time, with N winds at 11.1% adding to the summer chop. The strong north wind is a persistent feature of Florence's summer, making it hard to find a calm wave. The dry season has arrived - only 1.27 mm/day of rain - and the water temp is 12.2°C. If you are surfing in June, look for the early morning tide change before the north wind fills in.
