June: Gloomy Skies, Persistent South Winds, and the Longest Period Swell
June delivers the longest average period of the year at 13.9s, but that's a cruel trick because the size is modest-0.9m (3ft)-and the wind is almost never your friend. Ideal offshore conditions bottom out at 1%. The swell direction is now dominated by SW (42%) and WSW (35%) with a healthy 16% from SSW, all great directions for the southwest-facing beach. Yet 82% of the time the wind is blowing from the south-to-west quadrant, with SW (28%) and WSW (18.5%) leading the charge. That creates a persistent chop and crumbly texture on the waves, even though the long period gives them a bit of push. June gloom is real: air temps average 17.9°C (64.2°F), water is 16.0°C (60.8°F), and precipitation is almost nil. Look for those Southern Hemi swells to double through the pier on rare dawn clean-ups, but keep expectations in check.
