June: Long-Period Southern/SW Swell Meets Summer Bump
June brings the first true summer swell pattern to Venice Beach. The average swell height is 2.6ft (0.8m) but the period is a long 12.6s, and directions become more southwesterly: WSW 43.4%, SW 30.8%, W 18.8%, and SSW 6.9%. The long period means there is genuine groundswell in the water, mostly from Southern Hemisphere storms and the eastern Pacific, but it is small-about 84% of waves are in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range and only 15% reach 3-5ft (1-1.5m).
Surf quality is limited by wind more than anything. Ideal wind drops to 26%, with onshore SSW/SW/WSW/W flow accounting for about 55% of the time; the offshore/northeasterly quadrant is only around 10%. Water temperature climbs to 15.1°C, air temps average 18.9°C, and rain is nearly nonexistent (0.08mm/day). Expect the cleanest conditions before 9 a.m. and small, fun summer surf.
