June: Summer Swell Arrives, But Wind Is the Catch
June brings the first consistent pulse of summer south swells. The average swell height is 1.0m (3-4ft) with a strong 12.4s period, and the SSW/SW directions finally build into serious totals - SSW (11%), SW (26%), WSW (34%), and W (28%). That is an inviting swell window for a south-facing point. The problem is wind: only 24% of the time is ideal for surfing, the lowest of the year. WSW winds are the most common at 19%, followed by W (16%) and SW (12%), which are not helping a south-facing break. Precipitation nearly disappears at 0.08mm/day, air temperatures reach 18.9°C, and water temperature warms to 14.9°C. Early-morning glass-offs are the only reliable window. If a N/NNW offshore breeze lines up with the SSW groundswell, Latigo can suddenly feel like a much better wave.
