Conditions at Steamer Lane in June
June: High Pressure and Rippable Summer Surf
By June, the subtropical high dominates the Eastern Pacific and the storm track is far to the north. Average swell falls to 1.6m (5ft) and average period drops to 10.8s, the shortest of the year - so the character shifts from heavy winter groundswell to more punchy, rideable WNW swell. The direction distribution is as lopsided as ever: WNW 59.8%, W 18.9%, WSW 8.1% and NW 6.4%. With ideal wind 81% of the time and W/NW/WNW flow dominating, surfaces are usually clean and the Lane becomes a playground for high-performance surfing rather than a big-wave arena. Rain is virtually absent (0.17mm/day), air temps average 16°C, and early summer upwelling keeps water temperature at 11.6°C. Expect fun, head-high-plus waves on the better WNW pulses.
