Conditions at Shipwreck Beach in June
June: Summer Lull and Strong Trades
June is one of the weaker months on the calendar. Average heights hold at around 5.5ft (1.7m), but the period drops below the 10-second mark to 9.9s, putting the surf in the average-to-punchy category rather than long-period power. E swell dominates at 46.4 percent, with ENE and ESE making up most of the rest, leaving almost no direct S/SSW swell for the beach's south-facing exposure. The trades are at their annual strongest, blowing ENE 72.9 percent of the time; ideal offshore wind coverage plummets to 13 percent. Expect short-period, trade-textured waves, usually a few feet smaller than the open ocean average, with occasional clean windows early before the wind clocks more onshore. Water temps are 25.7°C, air averages 25.1°C, and rainfall is minimal at 1.2 mm/day.
