June: Winter Sets In, Swell Turns On
June is the opener of the winter swell season. Average wave height remains around 5.9ft (1.8m), but the period is a healthy 13.4s and the dominant swell direction is now clearly SW at 43.8 percent, with SSW at 27.9 percent and WSW adding a further 7.3 percent. That pushes more energy directly into the southwest-facing beach. The good news: 25 percent of winds are from the ideal NNO-NO-ONO-O quadrant, and NNW/N winds increase as frontal systems pass to the south. The bad news: the same frontal systems bring occasional W/SW/WSW onshore winds - together around 19.8 percent - which can turn the lineup into a lumpy, incoming mess. Water temperature falls to 17.0°C and precipitation jumps to 1.11 mm/day, but the combination of long period and offshore dawnies is prime.
