Conditions at Long Beach in June
June: The Summer Lull Takes Hold
June is the beginning of the low season at Long Beach. The average wave height falls to 3ft (0.9m), and the average period drops to 7.0s. The swell rose becomes heavily dominated by the south and southeast: S accounts for 26.1%, SSE 23.2%, and SE 16.0%, but almost all of it is small, short-period windswell. The 2-3ft (0.5-1m) class is enormous, while the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) class is much thinner. In surfer terms, this is grovel territory - fun if you are patient, but rarely powerful.
Winds turn more to the south as well. SSW blows 12.4% of the time, S 11.6%, and SW 9.7%, so afternoon onshore flow is the norm. Ideal-wind time drops to 26%, and morning glass is often the only clean window. Air temperature averages 19.7°C, water temperature reaches 17.9°C, and precipitation is 3.45 mm/day. Summer surfers can still find rideable waves, but expect small, soft, crumbly conditions rather than anything that will test your step-up.
